... 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. • To identify and study within an inter-and multidisciplinary context, the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions and problems concerning CA and DCS. AUTOMATA 2013 was organized by the Institut für Informatik of the Universität Giessen and took place place at the campus of natural sciences. It was a three-day workshop
