*** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS EXTENDED TO APRIL 25 ***

CALL FOR PAPERS - AUTOMATA 2014
20th International Workshop on
Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems

July 7-9, 2014, Himeji, Japan
http://www.eng.u-hyogo.ac.jp/eecs/eecs12/automata2014/


IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission deadline (full papers): April 25, 2014 (extended)
* Submission deadline (exploratory papers): June 9, 2014
* Notification to authors (full papers): May 20, 2014
* Final version: June 13, 2014

TOPICS

Papers presenting original and unpublished research on all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.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

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

   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=automata2014

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 The appendix will not
be published in the proceedings.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.

PUBLICATION

Papers in the both categories (full and exploratory) will be
published in local proceedings and will be available at the conference
venue.  Papers in the full paper category will be published in the
LNCS series of Springer and the proceedings will be available
after the conference.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
and improved version of their contribution to a special issue of
the Journal of Cellular Automata and another international journal
depending on the number and the subject of the papers accepted.

The workshop will host the annual meeting of the IFIP Working
group 1.5 on  Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems.
