Dear colleagues and friends,

Please find below the call for papers for the 25th International Workshop on Cellular Automata (CA) and Discrete Complex Systems (DCS), AUTOMATA 2019.

AUTOMATA 2019 is the official annual event of IFIP WG 1.5: this is the Working Group 5 (on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems), of the Technical Committee 1 (on Foundations of Computer Science), of the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP).

——————————————————————————————


Aims:

The purpose of this conference is to highlight the major advances in the field and the development of new tools, to support the development of theory and applications of CA and DCS, and to identify and study within an inter- and multidisciplinary context the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions and problems concerning CA and DCS. 


Venue:

The workshop is organized by the Department of Mathematics of University Center of Exact Sciences and Engineering of the University of Guadalajara, in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. 


Topics (not exhaustive):

    dynamic, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects of CA and DCS
    algorithmic and complexity issues
    emergent properties
    formal languages
    symbolic dynamics
    tilings
    models of parallelism and distributed systems
    synchronous versus asynchronous models
    phenomenological descriptions and scientific modelling
    applications of CA and DCS

Paper categories

There are two categories of submission – full papers and exploratory papers. Full papers are meant to report more complete and denser research, while exploratory papers are meant to be short reports of recent discoveries, work-in-progress or partial results. Submissions of full papers are refereed and selected by the program committee. Exploratory papers go through a less rigorous evaluation process. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference.

Accepted full papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Exploratory papers will not be included in the LNCS proceedings, but in local proceedings that will be distributed at the workshop.

A special issue in a journal consisting of extended versions of the papers will be arranged.
