Σύνοψη	Deterministic Cellular Automata (DCA) is a simulation method that models the evolution of complex systems through a regular grid of cells, each holding a discrete state, updated synchronously at each time step according to a fixed, deterministic rule applied to the cell and its neighbors. The outcome is fully reproducible given the same initial conditions and rule set.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
