====== Workshop TCA - Third International Workshop on Traffic and Cellular Automata ====== ===== Aims and scope ===== Cellular Automata are powerful tools for modeling complex systems used in various research fields. One of the growing topics for the last few decades is traffic modeling, which includes vehicular traffic on highway networks, city traffic with signal control and public conveyance. The investigation of such systems is important for both practical and scientific reasons. Reducing traffic congestion contributes to economic efficiency and modeling of traffic flow allows for new insights into nonequilibrium systems of self-driven particles. The aim of this workshop is to bring together interdisciplinary researchers studying traffic-related topics, and discuss methods for modeling, analysis and practical applications. Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to the following: * traffic modeling (highway and urban traffic, public transport etc.) * analytical methods * computer simulations * empirical results, experiments and data analysis * engineering applications * traffic networks * related systems (biological transport, granular flow etc.) ===== Submissions ===== Authors are invited to submit papers according to two contribution categories -- full and short papers -- meant to provide a differentiation of the papers in terms of their length, depth and/or maturity. Papers must comply with the [[http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0|Springer-Verlag format]] and the maximum length of 5 and 10 pages for short and full contributions, respectively. Formatting style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at [[http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0|Springer]] as well as at [[submission|ACRI 2014 submission page]]. ===== Publication ===== Accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the [[http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0|Lecture Notes in Computer Science]] (LNCS) series. ===== Important dates ===== * Paper submission: March 19, 2014 * Notification of paper acceptance or rejection: April 15, 2014 * Final version of the paper for the proceedings: May 14, 2014
