Workshop description

Natural Computation is a field of research that is concerned with the

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NCA'05 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work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 other fields.

Submission of papers:

Papers of up to 8 pages edited using the IEEE conference style must be

submitted electronically 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'06 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'06 post-

proceedings (IEEE Computer Press).

Workshop deadlines:

Submission of papers: June 16, 2006 Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2006 Final paper: September 1, 2006 Registration: September 1, 2006
