------ First Call for Papers NCMA 2023 ------

13th International Workshop on
"Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications"
(NCMA 2023)

September 18-19, 2023, Famagusta, Cyprus

https://ncma.emu.edu.tr/en


NCMA welcomes research papers that contain original contributions on classical and non-classical models of automata and applications and related subjects. Many models of automata and grammar-like structures are the natural objects of theoretical computer science. They are studied from different points of view in various areas, both as theoretical concepts and as formal models for applications.

The aim of the workshops on "Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications" is to provide a forum for researchers who work on different aspects of classical and non-classical models of automata and grammars to exchange and develop novel ideas.

In order to emphasize the workshop character of NCMA 2023, we also invite short contributions that report on recent results or ongoing work in addition to full papers. However, in contrast to the accepted regular (full) papers that will be published in the official proceedings, the accepted short papers will appear in a separate technical report.

Topics for NCMA 2023 include (but are not limited) to :

formal models inspired by linguistics, bio-computing, text processing, document engineering, self-assembly, etc.,
bio-inspired models of automata and generative devices,
cellular automata,
forgetting automata and restarting automata,
automata with additional resources,
regulated rewriting/automata,
networks of automata or generative devices,
models of cooperation and communication,
quantum automata.
automata in the framework of membrane computing

Other related topics, in particular, contributions dealing with questions on classical automata and generative devices are also welcome.

The workshop series "Non-Classical Models of Automata and Applications" started in Wrocław, Poland, in 2009. Since that the workshop takes place annually (but the pandemic time). The proceedings of the first 11 workshops have appeared as
volumes in the series books@ocg.at of the Austrian Computer Society. The proceedings of the 12th workshop was published as an EPTCS: Electronic Proceedings of Theoretical Computer Science volume. In addition, special issues of Fundamenta Informaticae or RAIRO – Theoretical Informatics and Applications were dedicated to each of them.

Deadline for submissions: July 3, 2023
Notification of acceptance: July 12, 2023
* Deadline for all final papers: July 24, 2023
* Workshop: September 18-19, 2023


Submissions and Proceedings
---------------------------

Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 16 pages or short papers of up to 8 pages in electronic form (PDF).
About the used style and submission procedure detailed information will be put on the website on due time. The proceedings for full papers is planned to appear in an EPTCS volume, while short papers appear as parts of a technical report.

Concerning full papers, proofs omitted due to space constraints may be put into an appendix that will be read by the reviewers at their discretion. All full papers will be reviewed by at least three referees, and simultaneous submissions to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings are not allowed.
Short papers will be reviewed by at least two PC members, but simultaneous submissions of extended versions to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings are allowed.
