[Mlnet] NCA 2005 - Final Call for Papers

NCA 2005

Natural Computing and Applications Workshop

in conjunction with   

SYNASC-2005
7th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
Timisoara, Romania
September 25 - 29, 2005

Workshop description

Natural Computation is a field of research that is concerned with use
of nature-inspired paradigms for solving computational problems. The
world of natural computation is diverse and fascinating. It tries to
combine the computing carried in computer science with the computing
observed in nature.

NCA'05 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work
that demonstrate current research in all areas of natural computation
and their applications in science, technology, business and commerce.
Submitted papers have to be original, containing new and interesting
results.


Topics: 

Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to, the following:

  -evolutionary computing,
  -neural computing,
  -molecular computing (DNA computing, membrane computing)
  -quantum computing,
  -information processing in cells and tissues, 
  -immunocomputing,
  -swarm intelligence,
  -computation with words, 
  -granular computation, 
  -artificial life, 
  -hybrid systems and other intelligent systems inspired by nature,
  -natural computing applications IN knowledge discovery, business,
science, finance, operations research, and more


Submission of papers:

Papers of up to 8 pages must be submitted electronically in Latex
format (IEEE paper style) to dzaharie@info.uvt.ro. All papers will be
peer  reviewed by at least two or more independent referees of the
program  committee of NCA'05 and accepted on the basis of their
scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics. Papers accepted
for presentation will be published in the SYNASC'05 post-proceedings
(IEEE Computer Press).

Workshop deadlines:

Submission of papers (extended deadline):  July 1, 2005
Notification of acceptance:  August 1, 2005
Final paper:   September 1, 2005
