BACKGROUND
==========

The scope of the workshop is a friendly exchange of ideas between researchers in the areas of cellular automata, Boolean automata networks, and their applications in all areas of science and engineering.

The workshop will allow the presentation of completed works, work-in-progress, and new ideas to foster new developments and new collaborations.

Short abstracts on following topics are welcome:

- Automata Networks
- Cellular Automata
- Automata Networks and Cellular Automata in practice: application scenarios
