Call for papers
February 25-27, 2026, NIT Calicut (India)
Aims and Scope of the Conference
The symposium aims two-fold: to nurture the theories of cellular automata, and to explore the cellular automata as technology. So all the theoretical aspects of cellular automata and their applications in any domain are within the scope of this symposium. In particular, the topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following:
