The International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural
Computation (UCNC) is a meeting where scientists from many different
backgrounds are united in their interest in novel forms of computation,
human-designed computation inspired by nature, and computational aspects of
natural processes. The 19th International Conference on Unconventional
Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC 2021) will be held in Aalto
University, Espoo, Finland on October 18-22, 2021.

Authors are invited to submit papers in PDF format of no more than 12
pages. Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the LNCS style, with
