14th International Workshop on Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications (NCMA 2024)
August 12-13, 2024, Göttingen, Germany

NCMA 2024 is the 14th edition in a series of events established in 2009. The workshop welcomes research papers that contain original contributions on classical and non-classical models of automata and applications and related subjects, including descriptional complexity of formal systems. Many models of automata and grammar-like structures are the natural objects of theoretical computer science. They are studied from different points of view in various areas, both as theoretical concepts and as formal models for applications. As such, the aim of the workshops on Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications is to provide a forum for researchers who work on different aspects of classical and non-classical models of automata and grammars to exchange and develop novel ideas.
In order to emphasise the workshop character of NCMA 2024, we also invite short contributions that report on recent results (unpublished, or published in other venues) or ongoing work in addition to full papers. However, in contrast to the accepted regular (full) papers that will be published in the official proceedings (EPTCS), the accepted short papers will appear in a separate technical report.
Alongside the regular programme of contributed (full or short) talks, the workshop will also host two invited talks (see below).
**Venue**
The 14th edition of NCMA will be held at the historic University of Göttingen in Germany, August 12–13, 2024, collocated with the 28th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory (DLT 2024, https://dlt2024.uni-goettingen.de/ ).
It is hosted by the TCS research group of Florin Manea. For more information, see https://ncma2024.uni-goettingen.de/

**Publication**
The Proceedings of NCMA 2024 will be published in the EPTCS series. A journal special issue (in the Journal of Automata, Languages and Combinatorics, https://jalc.de/) is planned.
**Submission Guidelines**
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research. The proceedings of NCMA 2024 will be published in the EPTCS series.
Please submit your paper here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ncma2024 .
Submitted full papers should not exceed 16 pages excluding bibliography, the title page (containing only the title, authors, affiliations, abstract), and a potential appendix (see below), and must follow the EPTCS LaTeX-style (available via https://info.eptcs.org/ ).
Proofs omitted from the main part of the paper due to space constraints should be put into an appendix, to be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
Further questions about submissions should be emailed to ncma2024@easychair.org.
Submitted short papers should not exceed 8 pages, following the same instructions as above.
Typical topics for the NCMA worskhops include (but are not limited) to :
formal models inspired by linguistics, bio-computing, text processing, document engineering, self-assembly, etc.,
bio-inspired models of automata and generative devices,
cellular automata,
forgetting automata and restarting automata,
automata with additional resources,
regulated rewriting/automata,
networks of automata or generative devices,
models of cooperation and communication,
quantum automata,
automata in the framework of membrane computing,
complexity aspects for formal systems.
Other related topics, in particular, contributions dealing with questions on classical automata and generative devices are also welcome.
