This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Cellular Automata
for Research and Industry ACRI 2016 held in Fez Morocco in September 2014. The 45 full
papers and 4 invited talks presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from
59 submissions. This volume contains invited contributions and accepted papers from the main
track and from the three organized workshops. The first part is organized according to three
topics: (1) Cellular Automata Theory and Implementation (2) Cellular Automata Dynamics and
Synchronization (3) Asynchronous Cellular Automata and Asynchronous Discrete Models - ACA. The
second part of the volume contains three topics: (4) Modelling and Sim-ulation with Cellular
Automata (5) Crowds Tra c and Cellular Automata -CT&CA (6) Agent-Based Simulation and Cellular
Automata - ABS&CA.
