[DMANET] [CFP] CMC 2022 - 2nd Call for Papers

------------------------------------------
CMC 2022 & ACMC 2022 - 2nd Call for Papers
------------------------------------------

6-9 September 2022

CMC in Trieste, Italy
ACMC in Quezon City, Philippines

CMC 2022 website: https://cmc2022.units.it
ACMC 2022 website: https://aclab.dcs.upd.edu.ph/acmc

This year the Conference on Membrane Computing (CMC) and the Asian Conference on Membrane Computing (ACMC) are organized as a partially joint event in Trieste, Italy and Quezon City, Philippines under the umbrella event of ICMC 2022.

CMC 2022 will be a hybrid conference, with both on-site and online participation

Conference Topics
-----------------

Like artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, cellular automata and DNA computing, membrane computing is also a branch of natural computing or nature-inspired computing and was initiated by Gheorghe Păun in 1998. It aims to abstract computing models, called membrane systems or P systems, from the structure and the functioning of the living cell as well as from the cooperation of cells in tissues, organs, and populations of cells. This research area has grown into a vigorous scientific discipline and has attracted a large number of researchers all over the world. For more information, please refer to the P systems Webpage (http://ppage.psystems.eu/) and to the International Membrane Computing Society Webpage (http://imcs.org.cn/conferences.php).

ICMC 2022 is organized to provide an open platform to bring together scholars worldwide to present their recent work on membrane computing, on topics related to theory, application and implementation of membrane computing but not limited to as follows:

- Theoretical aspects of membrane computing
- Various variants of computing models: cell-, tissue- and neural-like P systems.
- Computing power of membrane computing models.
- Computing efficiency of membrane computing models.

- Applications of membrane computing
- Robot controller design.
- Modeling using P systems for biosystems, biomedicine, ecological systems, etc.
- Membrane-inspired optimization algorithms for various problems.
- Fault diagnosis of various systems, such as robots, power systems, etc.
- Information and communication technologies.
- Information security and cryptography.
- Other applications.

- Implementation of membrane computing models
- Software implementation.
- Hardware implementation.
- Biological implementation.
- Biochip implementation.
- Other implementation.

- Related topics
- Bio-Inspired Optimization Techniques, such as optimization algorithms inspired by cells or DNA computing.
- Other topics related to membrane computing or dealing with cellular computing, DNA computing, reaction systems, etc.

Submission Deadline May 30, 2022
Notification Deadline June 30, 2022
Final Version July 15, 2022
Early Registration Deadline July 20, 2022

Submission instructions
-----------------------

Original research contributions (including significant work-in-progress) on membrane computing, its applications and related subjects are sought. Contributions reporting in-vivo or in-silico experimental results are particularly encouraged. Authors are invited to submit their contribution as PDF, written in English and preferrably prepared in LaTeX using Springer LNCS style (llncs) (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).

There are two tracks for submission:

Full paper of a reasonable length. There is no strict page limit for submission of a full paper. Along with the review process, a maximum number of pages for the pre-proceedings or proceedings version can be defined if necessary. Additional supplementary material might be made available on a web page whose reference is mentioned within the paper.

Extended abstract for short presentation. For a maximum four pages. Typical extended abstracts present significant work-in-progress, late-breaking results, or contributions from students new in the field or at the start of their research career.

Only electronic submissions are accepted. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not allowed.

Submission and publication
--------------------------

A paper can be submitted to either CMC 2022 or ACMC 2022

For submission to CMC 2022 please visit: https://cmc2022.units.it/submission.html

For submission to ACMC 2022 please visit: https://sites.google.com/dcs.upd.edu.ph/acmc2022/paper-submission

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three referees. To ensure inclusion of an accepted contribution into the (pre)proceedings volume, at least one of its authors must be registered to CMC 2022 or ACMC 2022. The pre-proceedings volume will be available during the conference.

A selections of accepted papers will be re-reviewed and considered for publication in an international journal.
