A method is presented for the design of cellular automata rules by means of ant
algorithms. In particular, Elitist Ant System and a~modified MAX-MIN Ant System
are applied to search for transition functions of 1D cellular automata that are
able to calculate squares of given input values. It will be shown that the
proposed MAX-MIN Ant System can perform significantly better than the standard
variant of Elitist Ant System. In particular, in the most advanced case study,
the ant algorithm showed an ability to design a~complete set of elementary
cellular automata rules that fulfil the required square calculations. Some
selected results will be presented and their features discussed.
