ACRI 2018 - Call for Papers

13th International Conference on CELLULAR AUTOMATA FOR RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY

Villa del Grumello - Lake Como School Of Advanced Studies
Como, Italy

http://acri2018.disco.unimib.it

The conference is organised by the University of Milano-Bicocca

SCOPE

Cellular Automata (CA) present a very powerful approach for the study of
complex emergent phenomena built up out of many simple local interactions.
Because of this, CA are very popular for studying real applications and
have generated a great deal of interest both in academia and industry
by researchers working in different scientific fields and dealing with
theoretical aspects as well as practical applications.

Since its first edition in 1994, the ACRI conference focused on challenging
problems and new research on Cellular Automata (CA). Its primary goal is
to offer both scientists and engineers in academies and industries an
opportunity to enforce international collaborations on Cellular Automata
and express their views on current trends, challenges, and state-of-the art
solutions to various problems in several scientific fields:
biology, computer science, chemistry, ecology, economy, engineering, geology,
medicine, physics, sociology, etc.

This 13th edition of ACRI Conference aims at enlarging the classical topics
to include other areas related to or extending Cellular Automata. This will
offer a larger community the opportunity to discuss their work in various
related fields as for instance: complex networks, games on networks,
bio-inspired computing, cryptography, biological network modelling,
multiagent models, etc.

Papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical and
computational aspects of Cellular Automata as well as applications of
CA-based models are sought/welcomed.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Tools and Theory: new algorithms based on CA, theory of computation,
CA environments,
- Theoretical aspects of CA: algebraic, dynamics, and topological issues
- Dynamical Complex Systems and Emergent Phenomena,
- Image Processing and Pattern Recognition,
- Natural Computing and Unconventional Computing,
- Quantum Cellular Automata,
- Complex Networks, Games on Networks,
- Bio-Inspired Computing,
- Cryptography,
- Lattice Gas and Lattice Boltzmann Models,
- Agent-Based Models,
- Mathematical Systems Theory: analysis, optimization and control,
identification,
- Biological and Ecological Modelling: metabolic networks, species evolution,
immune systems, contamination processes, infectious diseases, biodiversity,
- Modelling of Physical or Chemical Systems: hydrodynamics, reaction diffusion,
systems, complex flows,
- Environmental Modelling: Pollution models, biomass evolution, desertification,
- Socio-Economical Models: vehicular and pedestrian traffic, urbanism, market.

WORKSHOPS

The ACRI-2018 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Workshops Program.
Workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the
opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters
the active exchange of ideas.
In the past editions of ACRI the number of ACRI Workshops and satellite Workshop
has grown: C&CA (Crowds & Cellular Automata), T&CA (Traffic & Cellular
Automata), ACA (Asynchronous Cellular Automata and Asynchronous Discrete Models),
CACGI (Cellular Automata of Cancer Growth and Invasion), IWNC (International
Workshop of Natural Computing), ABSim&CA (Agent-Based Simulation & Cellular
Automata).
Details on how to send Workshop proposals will be announced soon.

VENUE

The Conference will take place at the Villa del Grumello (Como, ITALY), within
the Como Lake School of Advanced Studies, see http://www.villadelgrumello.it .
Villa del Grumello is looking the first basin of Como Lake. It is framed by
century-old trees and enchants its visitors with its delicate atmospheres
and its harmonious setting. Driving force of the development of the Lariano
area, Villa del Grumello is a reference point for culture, science and the
business community.

been published. Concurrent submissions to other conferences/journals are
not allowed. 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 (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors)
and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers authored or

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

As for the previous editions, we are planning special issues of journals like
Natural Computing (already confirmed) and Journal of Cellular Automata for
the publication of selected papers from the conference and workshops.
