   FINAL ANNOUNCE:

   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.   
      
   Speakers:   
   Leon Chua (Berkeley, USA)   
   Masami Hagiya (Tokyo, Japan)
