TPNC 2020: 2nd call for papers *To be removed from our mailing list, 
please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line*
****************************************************************************
*9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF NATURAL 
COMPUTING*
*TPNC 2020*
*Taoyuan, Taiwan*
*December 7-9, 2020*
Co-organized by:
Chung Yuan Christian University
College of Science
Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice - IRDTA
Brussels / London

****************************************************************************
*AIMS:*
TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of 
computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information 
processing in nature. TPNC 2020 will reserve significant room for young 
scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be 
put on methodology. The conference aims at attracting contributions to 
nature-inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature by means of 
computation, nature-inspired materials, and information processing in 
nature.
Previous events took place in Tarragona, Cáceres, Granada, Mieres, 
Sendai, Prague, Dublin and Kingston.
*VENUE:*
TPNC 2020 will take place in Taoyuan, in northwestern Taiwan, 
neighboring Taipei and home to many industrial parks and tech company 
headquarters. The venue will be:
tba
*SCOPE:*
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical contributions to:
affective computing
ambient intelligence
ant colony optimization
approximate reasoning
