[DMANET] NCMA 2025 - Call for Informal Presentations

===============================================================================

NCMA 2025 - Call for Informal Presentations

15th International Workshop on Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications

July 21-22, 2025, Loughborough, UK

https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/compsci/events/ncma-2025/

NCMA workshop series website: https://www.cs.uni-potsdam.de/NCMA/

===============================================================================

Many non-classical 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. The aim of the workshops on Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications is to provide an opportunity for researchers who work on different aspects of non-classical models of automata and grammars to exchange and develop novel ideas.

In order to emphasize the workshop character of NCMA 2025, we now invite for informal presentations in addition to full papers.


PRINCIPAL TOPICS

Typical topics for the NCMA workshops 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.


TALK DETAIL SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to give informal presentations on recent results (unpublished, or published in other venues) or ongoing work.

Submitted descriptions of the presentations, encompassing the title and the abstract of the talk, must not exceed 2 pages (in EPTCS LaTeX-style - available at https://info.eptcs.org/). Submissions should be sent to the email address NCMA2025@lboro.ac.uk with subject "NCMA 2025 - Informal Presentation" and with the talk title and author names in the body of the message.


IMPORTANT DATES

- Informal presentation submission deadline: June 20, 2025 (23:59 AoE)
- Informal presentation notification: June 27, 2025
- Workshop: July 21-22, 2025
