Unconventional Computation & Natural Computation 2013

The UCNC 2013 conference will take place at Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Milano, Italy on 1–5 July 2013.

The conference will be co-located with the conference Computability in Europe 2013 (CiE 2013). The satellite workshop Wivace 2013 (Workshop Italiano di Vita Artificiale e Computazione Evolutiva 2013) will also take place at Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca on 1–2 July 2013.

• Submission deadline: 2 February 2013
• Notification to authors: 25 March 2013

• Conference: 1–5 July 2013

Topics

The topics of the conference include all areas of unconventional computation and natural computation, including (but not limited to) quantum, cellular, molecular, neural, DNA, membrane, and evolutionary computing; cellular automata; computation based on chaos and dynamical systems; massive parallel computation; collective intelligence; computation based on physical principles such as relativistic, optical, spatial, collision-based computing; amorphous computing; physarum computing; hypercomputation. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome.

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit original papers (at most 12 pages in LNCS format) usingEasyChair.org at
