CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS --- CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Important dates
- Proposal submission: March 19, 2012
- Notification: April 2, 2012
- UCNC 2012: September 3-7, 2012
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UCNC has a long standing tradition of hosting workshops in areas
related to unconventional computing and/or more specific to a
pertinent topic.
Typically, but not exclusive, topics can be chosen from: natural
computing including quantum, cellular, molecular, neural, DNA and
membrane computing, as well as evolutionary paradigms; chaos and
dynamical systems based computing; massive parallel computation,
collective intelligence, relativistic, optical, spatial computing,
amorphous computing, physarum computing, collision-based computing,
proposals for computations going beyond the Turing model.
Workshops are expected take place during the conference. There are
no special fees for the workshop, registration for the conference
includes access to all organized workshops. Each workshop will receive:
- a lecture room,
- free printing of proceedings,
- one mission (covers travel+living expenses+registration for one person)
- advertisement along with the conference.
For each workshop, the program as well as the preparation of
proceedings is responsibility of the workshop organizers.

Workshop proposals should indicate:
- title and/or acronym,
- contact information of the workshop organizers,
- scope and topics,
- proposed format and agenda (for example, talks, demo sessions,
tutorials, posters, etc.),
- estimate audience size (15-40),
- potential invited speakers,

- plans for dissemination, if any (for example, special issues of journals),
- duration (which may vary from one day to two days),
- Past history of the workshop,
- special technical needs,
- anything else that you feel is important!
Proposal (pdf or plain text, no more than 3 pages) should be sent to
