Call for Papers
AUTOMATA 2015
21st International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems
Turku, Finland
June 8-10, 2015
http://www.math.utu.fi/automata2015
Important dates
*Deadline for submissions: February 13, 2015 (extended from previously announced)
*Notification to authors: March 17, 2015
*Final version: March 27, 2015
*Submissions of exploratory papers: May 4, 2015
*Notification to authors of exploratory papers: within 10 days from submission
*AUTOMATA 2015: June 8-10, 2015
Scope
Papers presenting original and unpublished research on all fundamental aspects of cellular automata and related discrete complex systems are sought. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): dynamics, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects, algorithmic and complexity issues, emergent properties, formal language processing, symbolic dynamics, models of parallelism and distributed systems, timing schemes, phenomenological descriptions, scientific modeling and practical applications. Papers authored or co-authored by PC members are also welcome and will follow a specific evaluation process.
Paper categories
There are two paper categories - full and exploratory contributions. Full papers are meant to report more complete and denser research, while the later submission deadline of exploratory papers allows quick reporting of most recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial results. Papers in the full paper category are refereed and selected by the program committee. Papers in the exploratory category go through a less rigorous evaluation for suitability. Full papers receive a longer time slot for presentation in the workshop.
Invited speakers
Andreas Deutsch (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany)
Turlough Neary (University of Zürich and ETH, Switzerland)
Ville Salo (Universidad de Chile, Chile)
Luke Schaeffer (MIT, USA)
Submission
Papers have a page limit of 14 pages (full paper category) or 8 pages (exploratory paper category), they must be formatted in LaTeX using the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors) and must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Authors are invited to submit original papers by the EasyChair system at
The submission may contain an appendix that exceeds the page limit if the author wants to provide the PC with more details than allowed by the strict paper limit. The appendix will not be published in the proceedings. The papers must not have been submitted simultaneously to other conferences with published proceedings. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference.
Proceedings
Accepted papers in the full paper category will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series and will be available at the conference. Exploratory papers will be printed locally and will also be available to conference participants. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved version of their contribution to a special issue of Natural Computing, published by Springer.
