************************************************************************





Dear Professionals and Research Students working in areas involving both
theory and application fields of computer science, we are inviting you to
join us for our:

4th Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop (formerly, Cellular
Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop) within The 2012 International
Conference on Scientific Computing (CSC'12: July 16-19, 2012, Monte Carlo
Resort, Las Vegas, USA),

one of 22 conferences at WORLDCOMP'12 - The 2012 World Congress in Computer
Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing.



Chairs of Session: Lou D'Alotto*, J.F. Nystrom**, William Spataro***



* York College/CUNY and The CUNY Graduate Center, New York, USA,
ldalotto at york.cuny.edu

***University of Calabria, Italy, spataro at unical.it



Deadline for the full paper submission is March 15, 2012.



Official CFP

Following the success of our previous Cellular Automata, Theory and
Applications Workshop, which included exciting keynotes addressed from
leading Cellular Automata researchers, Prof. Dr. Peter Sloot, and by Prof.
Yaroslav D. Sergeyev, father of the Infinity Computer, we are glad to
invite you to our fourth edition. From this year, topics of the Workshop
have been extended to the more general Automata theme, including both
theoretical and applicative aspects of this important computer science
field.



The main objective of this Workshop, organized within the 2012 World
Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing
(WORLDCOMP'12), is to offer scientists, researchers and engineers an
opportunity to express and confront their views on trends, challenges, and
state-of-the art in both theory and diverse application fields such as
engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology,
sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.



Distinguished papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of
SuperComputing, a leading ISI research journal publishing theoretical,
practical, tutorial and survey papers on all aspects of supercomputing.



Please see other publication details below.



SCOPE:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- cellular automata

·         theoretical

·         systems modeling

·         other applications

- finite automata

- formal language theory

- theoretical issues on automata theory

- parallel implementations



SUBMISSION:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers directly to
the Workshop Chairs (see emails above). Please include “*A – CSC’12” in the
email subject header. Submissions must be received by March 15, 2012 and
they must be in either MS doc (not docx) or pdf formats (about 5 to 7 pages
- single space, font size of 10 to 12). All reasonable typesetting formats
are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to
follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for
publication.) The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page
of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should
also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical
keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. Finally, the
name of the conference (CSC'12) must be stated on the first page.



IMPORTANT DATES:

March 15, 2012:  Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages)

April 13, 2012:  Notification of decision

April 30, 2012:  Final papers + Copyright + Registration

July 16-19, 2012: The 2012 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'12 - 22 joint conferences)



CATEGORIES OF ACCEPTED PAPERS:

(RRP)  Regular Research Papers: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. 20-minute formal presentation slot.

(RRR)  Regular Research Reports: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion
Sessions.) Typically, those authors with language difficulties prefer this
mode of presentation.

(SRP)  Short Research Papers: 4-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion
Sessions.)  Same presentation mode as RRR papers.

(PST)   Posters 1-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings.
Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion Sessions.



PUBLICATION:

All accepted papers will be published in the general CSC conference
proceedings (in both, printed book form as well as online). The proceedings
will be indexed in Inspec / IET /The Institute for Engineering and
Technology, DBLP / Computer  Science Bibliography, and others.) The printed
proceedings will be available for distribution on site at the conference.



MORE:

The 4th Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop, together with all other
WORLDCOMP Workshops and Conferences, will be held at Monte Carlo Resort,
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This
is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms.
It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and from the
airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including:
waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool, nightly
shows, many restaurants, etc. The negotiated room rate for conference
attendees is very reasonable.
