[DMANET] Second Call for Papers: Machines, Computations and Universality, MCU 2026

This conference series focuses on investigating language describing formalisms (automata, grammars, etc.) that are equivalent to Turing machines (or close to being it). The International conference series MCU traces its roots back to the mid 1990's, and has always been concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of computation and universality. The 11th edition of this conference will take place in Trier during 27.7-29.7.2026. After seeing various requests, the submission server https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mcu2026 will open again on May 25th and allow a second round of submissions until May 31st AoE, 2026. Author notification (second round): June 29th, 2026 All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We expect non-anonymous submissions up to 15 pages in LNCS format, including “everything” apart from a possible appendix (read at the discretion of the PC); alternatively, include a link to an ArXiv version.
