In this paper a method is proposed which uses data mining techniques based on rough sets theory to select neighborhood and determine update rule for cellular automata (CA). According to the proposed approach, neighborhood is detected by reducts calculations and a rule-learning algorithm is applied to induce a set of decision rules that define the evolution of CA. Experiments were performed with use of synthetic as well as real-world data sets. The results show that the introduced method allows identification of both deterministic and probabilistic CA-based models of real-world phenomena.
