خلاصه	Agent-Based Cellular Automata (ABCA) is a hybrid simulation framework that integrates the local transition rules of cellular automata with the autonomous behavioral logic of agent-based modeling. Cells in a spatial grid both evolve according to neighborhood rules and host agents that perceive, decide, and act, enabling the study of complex spatial phenomena such as land-use change, disease spread, crowd dynamics, and ecosystem evolution.	Stochastic Cellular Automata (SCA) extend classical cellular automata by replacing deterministic transition rules with probabilistic ones, allowing each cell on a grid to change state according to a probability distribution conditioned on its neighborhood. This makes SCA a powerful tool for simulating real-world spatial processes where randomness, noise, and uncertainty govern local interactions — from epidemic spread and forest fires to traffic flow and material diffusion.
