Call for Papers

Original manuscripts are solicited for the conference. The full paper (not more then 15 pages) or an extended abstract (about 5-7 pages) should be submitted. Let us note that it is more difficult for the Program Committee to make a decision about the paper while reviewing an extended abstract. The papers should be sent to the conference address (see below). Only electronic submission of manuscripts is accepted. The first page should include (but not be limited to) the following information: title, the authors' full names, affiliation, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address. To gain the better understanding of your abstract, we also request that you include the following information: short review of related papers, formulation of the problem, objectives, description of results, main ideas, and list of references. All papers will be internationally reviewed. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2007. We will require camera-ready copy of the accepted paper by May 20, 2007. The organizers expect that the authors of selected papers will present their papers in Pereslavl-Zalessky. Please, use Springer Verlag format.

Special Session

The relation between CA and traditional approaches to simulation
(O.Bandman)

In the framework of the Conference PaCT-2007 the special session "Therelation between CA and traditional approaches to simulation" is planned to be held. The special session aims to create a scientific community ofresearchers involved in use and studying simulation technologies based onCellular Automata (CA) ideas and having no counterparts in traditionalnumerical mathematics. The scope of the special session covers the following topics:

1. Theory of fine-grain computations (behavioral properties, termination conditions, synchronous versus asynchronous modes of operation, methods of analysis and synthesis)
2. Parallel implementation of simulation algorithms on multiprocessor systems (methods of parallelization and experimental results)
3. New classes (extension) of Cellular Automata models: asynchronous probabilistic CA (Monte-Carlo), Movable CA, Cellular evolutionary algorithms, agent systems and some yet unknown models and so on.
4. Applications of Cellular Automata in physics and chemistry
5. Gas-Lattice and Gas-Lattice-Boltzmann model applications experience
6. Application of Cellular Automata for simulating social processes
7. Application of Cellular Automata in Material Sciences
8. Application of Cellular Automata in Biology.

Discussion

The discussion is planned to be held, where some relevant problems concerning the relations between CA and PDE simulation approaches should be discussed. So, the participants are invited to propose the subjects for the overall discussion. The following topics are considered for the debates:

1. What simulation methods should be comprised by the concepts of Fine-grain and Coarse grain parallelism.
2. What is the future of CA-simulation?
3. Where is the border between the fine-grain and the coarse-grained parallelisms?
4. What is the place of CA-models application in Parallel Computing?
