Overview
Automata 2007 is thirteenth workshop in a series of AUTOMATA workshops
established in 1995 by members of the Working Group 1.5 (Cellular
Automata and Machines) subordinated to Technical Committee 1 (Foundations
of Computer Science) of the International Federation for Information
Processing (IFIP). The main goal of AUTOMATA workshops is to maintain
a permanent, international and multidisciplinary forum for the collaboration
of researchers in the fields of Cellular Automata (CA) and Discrete
Complex Systems (DCS).
The workshop will revolve around all important theoretical and applied
aspects of cellular automata and discrete complex systems research.
Topics will include:
- CA as tiling systems
- CA as dynamical systems
- CA as models of parallelism
- CA as computational models
- CA and their algebraic structures
- CA as formal language processors
- CA and their structural & computational complexity
- CA as framework for investigating discrete complex systems
- CA as models of phenomena from biology, chemistry, physics,
engineering and other fields
- LGCA (Lattice Gas Cellular Automata) theory & applications
- Extensions and generalizations of CA & LGCA, including related
dynamical systems on non-regular lattices, random graphs, and
scale-free networks
The list of invited speakers is below. There will be sessions
of contributed talks and posters. The organizers reserve the right
to assign contributed presentation as oral or poster.
Presentations at the workshop are not reviewed in advance. We intend
on publishing accepted refereed papers after the workshop in special
issues of the
Journal of Cellular Automata and/or of the
International Journal of Unconventional Computing. All participants
may submit a paper for publication in the Automata 2007 proceedings.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
All participants are required to pay the registration fee. The registration
fee will cover reception, coffee breaks and banquet dinner. For
see important dates concerning abstract
submission and paying registration fee.
All participants may submit a paper for publication in the Automata
2007 proceedings. All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
The deadline for submissions to the proceedings of Automata 2007
is November 01, 2007.
Accepted articles, if they fit into the stated scope of the Journal
of Cellular Automata (JCA)
http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/JCA/JCA.html will be published
in a special issue of the JCA. If they do not fit into the stated
scope of JCA, they will be considered for publication in the International
Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems (IJPED), http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17445760.asp
Thus, each article must fit either into the scope of JCA, outlined
at http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/JCA/JCA.html
An article should not be longer than 10 pages. While authors may
indicate their preference for publication in JCA or IJPED, the editors
reserve the right to make the final decision regarding which journal
will contain any given accepted article.
In preparation of an article within the scope of JCA, please,
follow the guidelines on formatting as described in the "Notes
for Contributors" at http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/JCA/JCA.html
In preparation of an article within the scope of IJPED, please,
follow the guidelines on formatting as described in the “Instructions
for Authors” at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/gpaaauth.asp
All papers will be peer-reviewed. If you wish to include names
of potential referees (with their e-mail addresses) with your submission,
you are welcomed to do so. Of course, the editors reserve the right
to assign referees according to their own judgement.
Please, send your paper in PDF format to automata07@fields.utoronto.ca
with the information in the subject line “JCA-Automata 2007
Proceedings” or “IJPED-Automata 2007 Proceedings”.
