                        AUTOMATA 2008

     Future of Cellular Automata Theory and Applications
           June 12-14 2008 Bristol, United Kingdom

We are inviting you to participate in the international workshop on cellular
automata.

The unique workshop will highlight hot topics of cellular automata theory and
applications, an interdisciplinary field, whose general goal might be
summarised as the quest for theoretical constructs, computational solutions
and practical implementations of novel and powerful models of the
locally-connected regular discrete worlds.

The workshop will bring together work that focuses on advanced theoretical
constructions, experimental prototypes and genuine implementations of
cellular-automata models, computing devices and paradigms.

AUTOMATA-2008 is 14th workshop in a series of AUTOMATA workshops established
in 1995 by members of the Working Group 1.5 (Cellular Automata and Machines)
subordinated to Technical Committee 1 (Foundations of Computer Science) of the
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The main goal of
AUTOMATA-2008 workshops is to maintain a permanent, international and
multidisciplinary forum for the collaboration of researchers in the fields of
Cellular Automata (CA).

The workshop will revolve around all important theoretical and applied aspects
of cellular automata and discrete complex systems research. Topics will include
cellular automata as tiling systems, dynamical systems, models of parallelism,
computational models, algebraic structures, formal language processors,
structural & computational complexity, framework for investigating discrete
complex systems, models of phenomena from biology, chemistry, physics,
engineering and other fields

All participants are encouraged to submit a paper for publication in the
AUTOMATA-2008 proceedings. All submissions will be peer-reviewed.
