UC10 is organized by the University of Tokyo, Japan, and CDMTCS, University of

computation. Papers/posters dealing with theory as well as with experiments and
applications are welcome. Typical, but not exclusive, topics are: natural
computing including quantum, cellular, molecular, neural, and membrane
computing as well as evolutionary paradigms; chaos and dynamical systems based
computing; proposals forcomputations going beyond the Turing model.
