AUTOMATA 2023 - Call for Exploratory Papers and Extended Abstracts
29th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex
Systems
August 30 - September 1, 2023
University of Trieste
Trieste, Italy

*****************************************************************************
SCOPE
The AUTOMATA 2023 workshop is seeking contributions in the field of
cellular automata and discrete complex systems. The following call is
specifically for exploratory papers (max 8 pages), meant to
disseminate recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial
results. From this year, AUTOMATA is also welcoming extended abstracts
(max 4 pages), also aimed at the same type of contribution as the
exploratory papers.
The focus of this call includes all fundamental aspects of cellular
automata (CA), affine/correlated models of automata (such as automata
networks, finite automata over finite/infinite words, picture
languages), and related discrete complex systems (DCS). More
specifically, topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Dynamic, topological, ergodic, algebraic and combinatorial aspects
- Algorithmic, computability and complexity issues
- Information-theoretic aspects
- Emergent properties
- Formal languages
- Symbolic dynamics and connections to continuous systems
- Tilings, rewriting and substitution systems
- Computability theory
- Models of parallelism and distributed systems
- Asynchronous versus asynchronous models
- Applications CA and DCS
- CA in machine and deep learning
IMPORTANT DATES
- Submission deadline: July 7, 2023
- Notification: July 14, 2023
- Camera ready: July 28, 2023
- AUTOMATA 2023: August 30 - September 1, 2023
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit papers of no more than 8 pages (for
exploratory papers) or 4 pages (for extended abstracts) via the
EasyChair system at:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=automata2023
Submissions can contain either new and unpublished results (possibly
in a work-in-progress stage), or also summarize results recently
published in other venues. Since there are no formally published
proceedings (see below for more information on this point), concurrent
submission to other conferences/journals is allowed. Submission must
be formatted in LaTeX using the LNCS format (see
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
)
and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Exploratory papers
and extended abstracts authored or co-authored by PC members are also
welcome and will follow a specific evaluation process.
Both exploratory papers and extended abstracts will undergo a light
peer-review process. At least one author of each accepted submission
must register to AUTOMATA 2023 and present the corresponding
exploratory paper/extended abstract at the workshop.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted exploratory papers and extended abstracts will not be
included in the LNCS proceedings of AUTOMATA 2023, but they will be
informally published as local proceedings and uploaded on an open
access repository (HAL, see https://hal.science/).
