Aims and Scope of the Conference

The symposium aims two-fold: to nurture cellular automata theories and explore cellular automata as technology. So all the theoretical aspects of cellular automata and their applications in any domain are within the scope of this symposium. In particular, the topics of interest include (but is not limited to) the following:

• Algebraic and Theoretical aspects of CA

  • Algorithmic and Complexity issues in Cellular Automata

  • Formal Language Processing

  • Cellular Automata and Logic

  • Randomness

  • Reversibility and Cycle structure

Submission

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers written in English that are not more than 12 pages (single column including figures, tables and references) via EquinOCS Springer Nature Submission System.

ASCAT 2025 through EquinOCS (https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/ascat2025)

Submissions should be double-blind and it should contain original research that has not previously 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limits may be included as an appendix and will be considered at the committee's discretion (note that appendices will not be published in the proceedings).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 or Microsoft Word using the standard Springer single column format and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). For each accepted paper, at least one author has to complete full registration and present the paper. Papers authored or co-authored by PC members are also welcome and will follow a specific evaluation process.

Proceedings

Accepted papers of the conference will appear in the proceedings published by Springer Nature in the book series CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science).

Special Issue

Extended versions of a selected number of papers presented at the conference is planned to be published in a special issue of Complex Systems.
