Linear Cellular Automata and Automatic Sequences

We study one-dimensional linear cellular automata with values in a finite ring. The orbit of an initial configuration can be considered as a double sequence. We study the generated double sequence from the point of view of automatic sequences. We present several results which show the usefulness of this concept in the study of cellular automata. Furthermore, we present some results which are related to similar questions.
