Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems that provide a mathematical framework for modelling, studying andpredicting the behaviour and response of systems across many different disciplines and domains, ranging from physicaland biological to computational and social models. Cell-DEVS is a formalism that provides a discrete event approach todefine cellular models with timing delay constructions and using simple definition of complex timing. It has been shownthat the application of the Cell-DEVS paradigm produces a significant reduction in the development times of cell-shapedmodels and a wide variety of complex models has been developed using this approach. In this work we present the defi-nition of complex cellular automata models using the Cell-DEVS paradigm, we use the CD++ tool to obtain executablemodels and study their behaviour through computer simulation.
