BACKGROUND
----------
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. UCNC provides a forum for such scientists to
meet and discuss their work. The 16th UCNC will take place
in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA, a city nestled in the Ozark
Mountains and home to the University of Arkansas.

AUTHOR GUIDELINES
-----------------
Authors are invited to submit original research papers (of,
at most, 12 pages in LNCS format), or one-page poster
abstracts, to the conference EasyChair Site. Papers must be
submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF); revised versions
of manuscripts must be prepared in LaTeX, using the Springer
LNCS style. Note, one-page abstracts will only be considered
for posters.

Papers must not be under simultaneous consideration by any
other conference with published proceedings. All accepted
papers must be presented at the conference.

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science Series, and authors of selected
papers will be invited to submit extended versions for
publication in a special issue of Natural Computing.

Please note that these guidelines apply only to the main
conference track; satellite workshops have their own
submission procedures and publication arrangements.
