We are glad to announce you that we plan to edit a special issue in the international journal Natural Computing (https://www.springer.com/journal/11047) related to the joint events AUTOMATA-WAN 2021. AUTOMATA
2021 was the 27th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems and WAN 2021 was an international workshop on Automata Networks. Both these events held in Marseille (France) in last
July (see the website https://automata-wan-2021.lis-lab.fr for more information).
In short, this special issue aims to collect:
◊ articles (with substantial extensions or improvements) from regular or exploratory papers accepted to AUTOMATA;
◊ articles emerging from WAN presentations or discussions; and
◊ other contributions from the community.
Thereby, all the contributors to AUTOMATA 2021 and WAN 2021 are invited to submit a work to this special issue. Moreover, to provide better perspective and hindsight, this invitation is also extended to
researchers who did not participate to these events but who would like to contribute with an article in the scope detailed below.
The (non-exhaustive) scope of this special issue is the union of those of AUTOMATA and WAN, namely:
◊ On cellular automata and discrete complex systems
- dynamical, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects
- 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 cellular automata and discrete complex systems
◊ On automata networks (or finite dynamical systems)
- links between static and dynamical characteristics
- organisation of time and updating
- importance of feedback and (non-)convergence
- convergence time and behavioral optimization
- simulation
- modularity and compositionality
All the articles will pass through a peer review process respecting the high standards of Natural Computing. Moreover, the extended versions of papers published in AUTOMATA 2021 proceedings are expected to be
substantially different (at least 40%) from the initial version.
In order to better plan the special issue *we would like to know if you plan to submit an article to this special issue*. To this end, please, let us know as soon as possible your intention to contribute by
email.
------------------------------
Planned deadlines:
- asap: response to the current call and creation of a dedicated workspace on Natural Computing editorial managing system.
- submission deadline: February 1st, 2022.
- notification of acceptance: June 30, 2022.
- final version due: July 30, 2022.
- expected publication: December 2022.

Looking forward to receive your contributions.
The special issue editors:
Enrico Formenti,
Sylvain Sené,
Guillaume Theyssier.
