27th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems
12 – 14 July 2021

• Establish and maintain a permanent, international, multidisciplinary forum for the collaboration of researchers in the field of Cellular Automata (CA) and Discrete Complex Systems (DCS).
• Provide a platform for presenting and discussing new ideas and results.
• Support the development of theory and applications of CA and DCS (e.g. parallel computing, physics, biology, social sciences, and others) as long as fundamental aspects and their relations are concerned.
• Identify and study within an inter- and multidisciplinary context, the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions and problems concerning CA and DCS.

The AUTOMATA series is the official annual event of IFIP WG 1.5, the Working Group 5 (on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems), of the Technical Committee 1 (on Foundations of Computer Science), of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Scope (not exhaustive):

• dynamical, topological, ergodic and algebraic aspects of CA and DCS
• algorithmic and complexity issues
• emergent properties
• formal languages
• symbolic dynamics
• tilings
• models of parallelism and distributed systems
• synchronous versus asynchronous models
• phenomenological descriptions and scientific modelling
• applications of CA and DCS

• Maximilien Gadouleau (Durham University)
• Luca Priogioniero (University of Milano-Statale)
