2nd Workshop on Bio-inspired Approaches to Advanced Computing and
Communications as part of Bionetics 2011
December 5th - 7th, 2011 - York, England

CALL FOR PAPERS
The rapid developments in networking and resource integration domains
have resulted in the emergence of distributed computing models such as
Web Services and Cloud computing for solving very complex problems.
However, biology has developed effective solutions to hard engineering
challenges through millions of years of evolution. Several algorithms
and techniques widely used in Computer Science have been adapted from,
or inspired by, known biological phenomena. Computer scientists
applying biomimetics can learn by observing nature and adopting
biological approaches in the aforementioned distributed computing
models. The focus of this special track is on identifying the role
that bio-inspired computing can play in the progress of computing and
communications systems, in highlighting productive areas of research
and in pinpointing precise application areas. Manuscripts unfolding
mathematical models, algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods,
and experimental studies of advanced computing and communications
techniques that are inspired by and derived from biological systems
are solicited for this workshop. This special track seeks
high-quality, original and unpublished papers addressing topics
relevant to the issues raised above, including:
* Biological fault tolerance, self-healing systems
* Bio-inspired mathematical methods
* Machine learning
* Computational intelligence
* Collaborative self-organizing systems
* Knowledge Management
* Databases and data mining
* Dependable, reliable computing
* Autonomic computing and networks
* Adaptive network design
* Computer architecture
* Bio-inspired kinematics
* Self-organizing systems
