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 bibliography in BibTeX using bibliography style splncs04.bst. You can use one of the following links to download the LNCS style files:
