Workshop MCSCA 2005
workshop on
Modelling of Complex Systems by Cellular Automata 2005
Call for Papers
The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working with complex systems within diverse scientific fields as biology, physics, mathematics, and many others. The restriction on papers is that a cellular automaton should express a complex system. Complex systems are proven to be the powerful computational concept that help us to capture the essence of many real systems where other approaches and methods failed. Cellular automata enable us to define and to work with complex systems effectively and easily. This workshop is opened to other fields related to complex systems and/or cellular automata as well.
The theme of this workshop lies in the heart of the conference main theme, i.e. it is designed to hit the community, which pioneer computational methods in a wide range of fields as biology, physics, engineering and many other fields. Our personal experience is that such contact of researches from completely diverse field could leads to a mutual cross-fertilization of all the above mentioned fields and stimulate their own research!
Topics of Interest
- Theoretical complex systems expressed by cellular automata
- Applications of complex systems in various fields such as:
- Biomedicine and Biology
- Sociology and Psychology
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Informatics
- Econophysics
- Specific examples of applications:
- Living cell behaviour
- Multi-cell behaviour
- Immune system behaviour
- Social interactions
- Deformation and recrystallization of metals
- Making of distributed decisions (e.g. Density classification task)
- applications from other neighbouring fields are welcomed but it should be discussed with organizers of this workshop.
Submission Guidelines
Email the paper -- having maximum of 8 pages -- as an attachment (in PS or PDF format) to one of the workshop's Program Chair Prof Dr. S. El Yacoubi (yacoubi@univ-perp.fr), Dr. J. Kroc (kroc@c-mail.cz), Prof. Dr. M. Sipper (sipper@cs.bgu.ac.il) or Prof. Dr. R. Vollmar (vollmar@ira.uka.de) or upload it to the workshop web page. Uploading process is activated and a link to the page where the paper should be uploaded is provided by workshop's chairs. Please, do not forget to send a carbon copy to Jiri Kroc. All papers will be reviewed and the accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS (for formatting information see Information for LNCS Authors). Please keep strictly author instructions provided at the conference web page. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. A selection of the best papers for the conference will be published in a special issue of an international journal.
Please, do not upload your workshop papers to the general ICCS submission engine!
