11th International Conference on
UNCONVENTIONAL COMPUTATION and NATURAL COMPUTATION, UCNC 2012
(previously UNCONVENTIONAL COMPUTATION - UC)
University of Orleans, France, September 3-7, 2012
http://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/events/UCNC2012/
Deadline EARLY REGISTRATION JULY 15th
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UCNC 2012 is organized by the LIFO, the Computer Science Research
Laboratory of the University of Orleans.
This series of international conferences is devoted to all aspects of
unconventional computation and natural computation, theory as well as
experiments and applications. These conferences were previously named
Unconventional Models of Computation (UMC) from 1998 to 2002 and then
Unconventional Computation (UC). For the 11th edition, the conference
becomes Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation
(UCNC).
Typical, but not exclusive, topics are: 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...
