***************************************************************************
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 2017 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.
VENUE:
TPNC 2017 will take place in Prague, whose historic centre is UNESCO World Heritage Site and which is home to famous attractions like the Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, etc. The venue will be:
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
Charles University
Ke Karlovu 3
121 16 Praha 2
SCOPE:
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical contributions to:
amorphous computing
ant colonies
artificial chemistry
artificial immune systems
artificial life
bacterial foraging
cellular automata
chaos computing
collision-based computing
complex adaptive systems
computing with DNA
computing with words and perceptions
developmental systems
evolutionary computing
fractal geometry
fuzzy logic
gene assembly in ciliates
granular computing
intelligent systems
in-vivo computing
membrane computing
nanocomputing
neural computing
optical computing
physarum machines
quantum computing
quantum information
reaction-diffusion systems
rough sets
self-organizing systems
swarm intelligence
synthetic biology
- Applications of natural computing to:
algorithmics
bioinformatics
control
cryptography
design
economics
graphics
hardware
human-computer interaction
knowledge discovery
learning
logistics
medicine
natural language processing
