AFCA'17

5th International Workshop on Applications and Fundamentals of Cellular Automata

To be held in conjunction with CANDAR'16, Aomori, Japan, November 19-22, 2017

This workshop is launched in honor of Professor Morita's retirement from Hiroshima university in March 2013. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the discussion of new ideas in the field of application and theory of cellular automata and unconventional computing.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

  • Applicational aspects of cellular automata and cellular automata based systems, such as modeling of biological, physical or chemical systems, traffic modeling, agent-based systems, implementations of cellular automata,
  • Theoretical aspects of cellular automata, such as basic properties of cellular automata, cellular automata based algorithms, models of unconventional computing, natural computing, complex systems, artificial life.

Paper format

  • Regular paper: 5-7 pages
  • Poster paper: 3-4 pages
