This is the fifth edition of the Asian Symposium on Cellular Automata Technology (ASCAT) to be held during February 25-27, 2026. The first edition of ASCAT (ASCAT 2022) was held during March 03-05, 2022 in online mode. This time the event is organised in hybrid mode. The symposium is officially organized by Department of Computer Science & Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (NIT, Calicut) in its campus at Kerala, India. The symposium is unique by its type -- it does not look cellular automata as only mathematical tool, but also as technology.
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.
