*The Algorithmic Dynamics Lab <http://algorithmicdynamics.net/> has the
great 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.*
AUTOMATA 2020 is innovating on various fronts given the challenge of
climate change we want to reduce the conference Carbon footprint through a
virtual attendance option, and also by addressing the underrepresentation
of young and minority groups in the field.
*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.

*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Submissions presenting original and unpublished research on all fundamental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):
- algorithmic information dynamics
- 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 (in
person or virtually) 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 following 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
<http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
and
submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers authored or co-authored
by PC members are also welcome.
*Publications*
Accepted full papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science <http://www.springer.com/lncs> 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
<https://www.complex-systems.com/>. The journal reports on theory,
experiments, and applications, and covers natural computing from a very
broad perspective. It is indexed in ISI.
