Paper & Poster Submission
Papers and poster presentations are sought in all areas that relate to unconventional computation and natural computation. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research papers (of, at most, 15 pages in LNCS format), or one-page poster abstracts, through the conference EasyChair link:
All accepted papers and posters must be presented at the conference.
Final, camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be submitted at the easychair.org hyperlink above in Portable Document Format (PDF) and prepared in LaTeX, using the Springer LNCS style. More details are found at the following URLs:
