I am not sure what the "new kind of science" is besides CA,
but the topic is nevertheless interesting. The Organizing
Committee for example lists the following interesting questions
about implications for biology and a fundamental theory of physics:

- Is there a core computational architecture in biological cells?

- Can we enumerate the morphologies of possible biological organisms?

- What kinds of artificial physics can support quantum mechanics?

- Will artificial life arise spontaneously within the internet?

- Is there an algorithm for telling if an object was designed?

I find this one fascinating:

- What is the network analog of a recursive function?
