The Algorithmic Dynamics Lab has the great privilege to organise the 26th International Workshop on Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems AUTOMATA 2020 in Stockholm Sweden, to be held on 10-12th August 2020.

Invited speakers will cover topics from emergence in open-ended systems to particle colliding in cellular automata.

The conference aims to:

• Establish and maintain a permanent, international, multidisciplinary forum for the collaboration of researchers in the field of Cellular Automata (CA) and Discrete Complex Systems (DCS).
• Provide a platform for presenting and discussing new ideas and results.
• Support the development of theory and applications of CA and DCS (e.g. parallel computing, physics, biology, social sciences, and others) as long as fundamental aspects and their relations are concerned.
• Identify and study within an inter- and multidisciplinary context, the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions and problems concerning CA and DCS.

As it is its tradition, AUTOMATA 2020 will focus in the theory and application of cellular automata and discrete dynamical systems in connection to complexity theory and algorithmic information. There will be special sessions on Automata in Deep Learning and Algorithmic Information Dynamics with particular interest in aspects of computability in causation and reprogrammability.
