2nd Call for Papers or Posters
Tenth International Conference on
UNCONVENTIONAL COMPUTATION, UC 2011
University of Turku, Finland, June 6-10, 2011
http://www.math.utu.fi/uc2011/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important dates
- Paper submission deadline: January 31, 2011
- Notification to authors: March 4, 2011
- Final versions due: March 21, 2011
- Poster submission deadline: April 18, 2011
- UC 2011: June 6-10, 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UC 2011 is organized by the FUNDIM laboratory of the mathematics
department at the University of Turku, Finland, under the auspices of
EATCS.
Original papers and posters are solicited in all all areas of
unconventional 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 for computations going
beyond the Turing model.
Submissions: Authors are invited to submit papers (at most 12 pages) or
posters electronically, via EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uc2011
All submissions are expected to be in the pdf format. Paper submissions
should be prepared following the LNCS format of Springer. Poster
submissions should contain either a graphical poster or an abstract with
sufficient details for the reviewers. Simultaneous submissions to other
conferences with published proceedings are not permitted. Each accepted
paper/poster must be presented at the conference. The author of the poster
is responsible for printing it. The proceedings (only for papers) will be
published by Springer LNCS series and will be available at the conference.
