Abstract
This paper deals with the advantages of so-called hybrid systems, that is, systems consisting of two or more different models. We present here two cellular automata coupled with artificial neural networks (neural CA). The first example is the model of a traffic regulating system. The cells of the CA represent different cars, and a certain neural net regulates the traffic. The second example shows a model of cognitive learning in dependency of social contexts. The cells of a CA consist of two types of neural networks. First results demonstrate the fruitfulness of this approach.
