************************************************************************


Dear Professionals and Research Students working in areas involving
Cellular Automata from both theory and application fields, we are
inviting you to join us for our:
3rd Cellular Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop within The
2011 International Conference on Scientific Computing (CSC'11: July
18-21, 2011, Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, USA),
one of 22 conferences at WORLDCOMP'11 - The 2011 World Congress in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing.

Chairs of Session: Lou D'Alotto*, J.F. Nystrom**, William Spataro***

* York College/CUNY, New York, USA, dalotto at york.cuny.edu
**Ferris State University, Michigan, USA, JamesNystrom at ferris.edu
***University of Calabria, Italy, spataro at unical.it

Deadline for the full paper submission is March 10st, 2011.

Official CFP
Cellular Automata, a computational paradigm of Scientific Computing,
are parallel computing models and discrete dynamical systems, utilized
for modeling and simulating complex systems whose evolution can be
described in terms of local interactions. Following the success of our
first two Cellular Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop (in 2009
and 2010), which included exciting keynotes addressed from a leading
Cellular Automata researcher, Prof. Dr. Peter Sloot, and by Prof.
Yaroslav D. Sergeyev, father of the Infinity Computer, we are glad to
invite you to our third edition.

The main objective of this Workshop, organized within the 2011 World
Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied
Computing (WORLDCOMP'11), is to offer scientists, researchers and
engineers an opportunity to express and confront their views on
trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in both theory and diverse
application fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology,
geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.

Distinguished papers will be published in a special issue of the
Journal of SuperComputing, a leading ISI research journal publishing
theoretical, practical, tutorial and survey papers on all aspects of
supercomputing.

Please see other publication details below.

SCOPE:
Topics of applied interest include, but are not limited to:
- cellular automata as models of parallelism,
- cellular automata as complex systems,
- cellular automata as dynamical systems,
- cellular automata models for real phenomena,
- cellular automata models based on geometrical forms,
- cellular automata in system biology,
- cellular automata in natural computing,
- theoretical issues on cellular automata (algebraic properties, etc)
- parallel implementations of cellular automata models

SUBMISSION:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers directly
to the Workshop Chairs (see emails above). Please include “CA –
CSC’11” in the email subject header. Submissions must be received by
March 10st, 2011 and they must be in either MS doc (not docx) or pdf
formats (about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12).
All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors
of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting
format to prepare their papers for publication.) The length of the
Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style)
pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently
submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper
should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address,
and email address for each author. The first page should also identify
the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords
that would best represent the content of the paper. Finally, the name
of the conference (CSC'11) must be stated on the first page.

IMPORTANT DATES:
March 10, 2011: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages)
April 3, 2011:  Notification of acceptance
April 24, 2011:  Final papers + Copyright + Registration
July 18-21, 2011: The 2011 World Congress in Computer Science,
Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'11 - 22 joint
conferences)

CATEGORIES OF ACCEPTED PAPERS:
(RRP)  Regular Research Papers: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. 20-minute formal presentation slot.
(RRR)  Regular Research Reports: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion
Sessions.) Typically, those authors with language difficulties prefer
this mode of presentation.
(SRP)  Short Research Papers: 4-page IEEE-style publication in the
proceedings. Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion
Sessions.)  Same presentation mode as RRR papers.
(PST)   Posters 1-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings.
Presentation in an informal setting (during Discussion Sessions.

PUBLICATION:
All accepted papers will be published in the general CSC conference
proceedings (in both, printed book form as well as online). The
proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET /The Institute for
Engineering and Technology, DBLP / Computer  Science Bibliography, and
others.) The printed proceedings will be available for distribution on
site at the conference.

MORE:
The 3rd Cellular Automata, Theory and Applications Workshop, together
with all other WORLDCOMP Workshops and Conferences, will be held at
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at
other near-by hotels). This is a mega hotel with excellent conference
facilities and over 3,000 rooms. It is minutes from the airport with
24-hour shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many
recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools, sunning
decks, Easy River, wave pool, nightly shows, many restaurants, etc.
The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable.
