MCU 2024 - CALL FOR PAPERS
10th Conference on Machines, Computations and Universality
MCU 2024, June 5 - June 7, 2024, Nice, France
============================================================
NEWS: Co-located workshop - CMC 2024, June 3-5
============================================================
The International conference MCU series traces its roots back to the mid
90's, and has always been concerned with gaining a deeper understanding
of computation and universality through the study of models of general
purpose computation. The MCU conference series was initiated in Paris
(1995). Following editions were held in Metz (1998), Chisinau (2001),
St. Petersburg (2004), Orleans (2007), Zurich (2013), Famagusta (2015),
and Fontainebleau, (2018). The 2020 edition was supposed to be held in
Wien, Austria but was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic.
The 9th edition of MCU took place at the University of Debrecen in
Hungary, it is co-located with DCFS 2022 (24th International Conference
on the Descriptional Complexity of Formal Systems, August 29-31) and
NCMA 2022 (12th International Workshop on Non-Classical Models of
Automata and Applications, August 26-27).
The 10th edition will take place at the Université Côte d'Azur in Nice, France
on an hybrid form (both in person and online). The conference is co-located
with CMC 2024 (Conference on Membrane Computing) which will took
from June 3rd to June 5th, 2024.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission deadline: March 22, 2024,
* Notification of acceptance: April 22, 2024,
* Camera ready due: May 6, 2024.
SCOPE
The scope of the conference topics includes, but is not limited to,
computation in the setting of various discrete models (Turing machines,
register machines, cellular automata, tile assembly systems, rewriting
systems, molecular computing models, neural models...) and analog and
hybrid models (BSS machines, infinite time cellular automata, real
machines, quantum computing...) and the meaning and implantation of
universality in these contexts. Particular emphasis is given towards
search for frontiers between decidability and undecidability in the
various models, search for the simplest universal models, computational
complexity of predicting the evolution of computations in the various
models. Parallel computing models and their connections to
decidability, complexity and universality.

AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their results at the
conference. Submitted papers must describe work not previously
published, and they must neither be accepted nor under review at a
journal or at another conference with refereed proceedings. Authors are
required to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF using the
LNCS style. Authors using LaTeX can download the needed macros at
Springer-Verlag site. Papers should not exceed 15 pages; full proofs may
appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be read at the
reviewers' discretion.
The submission process is managed by EasyChair and will open in February 2024.
The proceedings will be available after the conference as post-proceedings in
the LNCS series by Springer Verlag (to be confirmed).
A selection of papers will be invited to submit extended versions for
publication in a special issue of an international journal (contacts in
progress).
