Cellular automata (CA) present a very powerful approach to the study of spatio-temporal systems where complex phenomena build up out of many simple local interactions. They account often for real phenomena or solutions of problems, whose high complexity could unlikely be formalised in different contexts.
Furthermore parallelism and locality features of CA allow a straightforward and extremely easy parallelisation, therefore an immediate implementation on parallel computing resources. These characteristics of the CA research resulted in the formation of interdisciplinary research teams. These teams produce remarkable research results and attract scientists from different fields.
The main goal of the 10th edition of ACRI 2012 Conference (Cellular Automata for Research and Industry) is to offer both scientists and engineers in academies and industries an opportunity to express and discuss their views on current trends, challenges, and state-of-the art solutions to various problems in the fields of arts, biology, chemistry, communication, cultural heritage, ecology, economy, geology, engineering, medicine, physics, sociology, traffic control, etc.
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest about CA and CA-based models and systems include but are not limited to:
- Algebraic properties and generalization
- Complex systems
- Computational complexity
- Dynamical systems
- Hardware circuits, architectures, systems and applications
- Modeling of biological systems
- Modeling of physical or chemical systems
- Modeling of ecological and environmental systems
- Image Processing and pattern recognition
- Natural Computing Quantum Cellular Automata
- Parallelism
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting their original and unpublished research. Papers should not exceed 10 pages and should be formatted according to the usual LNCS article style. Formatting style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at Springer as well as at ACRI 2012submission page. The submission system is now open and early submissions are welcome. Please prepare your submission in accordance with the rules described above and submit a pdf file via Easychair system.
