Call for Papers

Important Dates:

Paper Submission deadline: Friday, October 09, 2026

Notification of acceptance: Monday, November 30, 2026

Deadline for camera-ready papers: Tuesday, December 15, 2026

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.

Submission:

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers written in English that are not more than 12 pages (single column including figures, tables and references) via Springer Nature Submission System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ascat2027

Note that, submissions must be in LaTeX (Springer) format and submitted as PDF. Submissions should contain original research that has not previously been published. Concurrent submissions to other conferences/ journals are not allowed.

Like previous years, double-blind review process will be followed. That is, all submissions should be anonymous and must not contain any information that could reveal the author(s) identity. Self-citations, if any, should be referred to in third person.

Proceedings:

Like previous years, all accepted papers, after presentation, will be published by Springer Nature in the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) book series.
