The Algorithmic Dynamics Lab has the privilege to organise the 26th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems AUTOMATA 2020 in Stockholm Sweden, to be held on 10-12th August 2020. We'd like to invite you to submit your papers.
The workshop aims to:
- Establish and maintain a permanent, international, multidisciplinary forum for the collaboration of researchers in the field of Cellular Automata (CA) and Discrete Complex Systems (DCS).
- Provide a platform for presenting and discussing new ideas and results.
- Support the development of theory and applications of CA and DCS (e.g. parallel computing, physics, biology, social sciences, and others) as long as fundamental aspects and their relations are concerned.
- Identify and study within an inter- and multidisciplinary context, the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions, and problems concerning CA and DCS.
As it is its tradition, AUTOMATA 2020 will focus on the theory and application of cellular automata and discrete dynamical systems in connection to complexity theory and algorithmic information. There will be special sessions on Automata in Deep Learning and Algorithmic Information Dynamics with a particular interest in aspects of computability in causation and reprogrammability.
Invited Speakers (more to be announced)
The Role of Emergence in Open-ended Systems
Dr. Alyssa Spooner
University of Wisconsin-Madison (U.S.A.)
Cellular Automaton Supercollider
Dr. Genaro J. Martinez
National Polytechnic Institute (Mexico) & University of the West of England (U.K.)
Submission Guidelines
Submissions presenting original and unpublished research on all fundamental aspects of cellular automata and related discrete complex systems are being sought.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- dynamic, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects
- algorithmic and complexity issues
- emergent properties
- formal languages
- symbolic dynamics
- tilings
- models of parallelism and distributed systems
- synchronous versus asynchronous models
- phenomenological descriptions and scientific modelling
- applications of CAs and DCSs
There are two categories of submission – full papers and exploratory papers. Full papers are meant to report more complete and denser research, while the later submission deadline for exploratory papers allows short reports of recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial results. Submissions in the full paper category are refereed and selected by the program committee. Papers in the exploratory category go through a less rigorous evaluation process. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference.
Authors are invited to submit papers of no more than 12 pages (for full papers) or 8 pages (for exploratory papers) by clicking the following link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=automata2020
Submissions should contain original research that has not previously been published. Supplementary material that exceeds the above mentioned page limits may be included as an appendix and will be considered at the committee’s discretion (note that appendices will not be published in the proceedings). Submission must be formatted in LaTeX using the LNCS format and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers authored or co-authored by PC members are also welcomed.
Publications
Accepted full papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Exploratory papers will not be included in the LNCS proceedings. Accepted exploratory papers will be published in local proceedings and will be also available at the conference.
A special issue collecting extended and improved versions of the papers presented at the conference will be published in Complex Systems. The journal reports on theory, experiments, and applications, and covers natural computing from a very broad perspective. It is indexed in ISI.
