Invitation and call for participation
for the Cellular Automata Workshop 96
|
In cooperation with the
IFIP
working group 14.5 we are inviting everyone
interested in cellular automata to a workshop taking place in Rauischholzhausen
(Germany) from
March 25, 1996 to
March 27, 1996.
Topics of interest are all aspects of cellular automata, e.g.
recognition of formal languages, computational complexity, relations to other
computational models, generalizations of cellular automata, structure of
(classes of) cellular automata, cellular automata
as models for real phenomena.
We are planning to have three full days of activity in order to allow as long
talks and an as intensive exchange of ideas as possible.
If there is enough interest, a 'wild cat session' can be organized
where apparent (or feigned) difficult problems and surprising solutions can
be presented.
The official language will be English.
We want to have available a collection of short summaries (1-2 pages) of
the talks at the beginning of the workshop. Participants are therefore
urged to send their
summary until
Friday, March 8, 1996 in LaTeX format to one
of the
organizers.
It is intended to publish some selected papers after passing the usual
refereeing process as a special issue of an international journal.
The preferred way of registration for the workshop is by using the
World Wide Web
registration form.
If you want to register in writing get the
leaflet (Postscript, 82kB), fill in the right
column on the back side and send it to the
organizers using e-mail, mail or fax.
Schloss Rauischholzhausen is located at the border of a village with the
same name in a delightful scenery near Giessen in Germany, approximately
80 km north to Frankfurt (Main).
Travelling by
Schloss Rauischholzhausen is the meeting place of the
Justus-Liebig-University Giessen. Besides seminar rooms there are also
sufficient overnight accommodations in the Schloss itself. We are looking
forward to animated discussions and a lively exchange of ideas.
The costs per night including all meals for one day are 80 DM.
You'll have to pay at the venue in cash or by voucher cheque. We cannot
accept credit cards, sorry.
The number of participants is limited to something above forty.
For further information you can also contact the
organizers or send a
mail via the World Wide Web.
