Fw: [Seminarium] ACRI 2004 - From individual to collective behaviour

> ACRI 2004: Call for papers
>
> "From individual to collective behaviour"
>
> Sixth International conference on
> Cellular Automata for Research and Industry
> (http://www.science.uva.nl/research/scs/events/ACRI2004)
>
> Date: October 25-28, 2004
> Location: University of Amsterdam, Science Park Amsterdam, The
> Netherlands
>
> Scope of the conference:
> ------------------------
> Cellular Automata, in spite of their apparent simplicity, represent a
> very powerful approach to study spatio-temporal systems in which complex
> phenomena build up out of many simple local interactions. They often
> provide solutions to real problems for which other, conventional
> approaches fail.
>
> John von Neumann, who is recognized as the father of cellular automata,
> would have been a hundred years old in 2004. ACRI 2004 wants to
> commemorate this important date by inviting researchers to submit
> contributions related to von Neumann's work or to the emergence of
> organisation in systems in which collaboration between components wins
> over the individual behaviour.
>
> The goal of this conference is to collect contributions concerning
> Cellular Automata in various fields such as theory, implementations and
> applications.
