************************************************************
BIONETICS 2012 The 7th International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems 10-12 December 2012, Lugano, Switzerland www.bionetics.org ************************************************************ **SCOPE** BIONETICS 2012 aims to provide a world-leading and unique opportunity for bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that seek the understanding of the fundamental principles and design strategies in biological systems, and leverage on those understandings to build bio-inspired systems for problem-solving and engineering applications, with a special focus on: networking, distributed systems, information processing, multi-agent systems, single and multi-robot systems, biomimetics, optimization, bioinformatics, and modeling of biological and bio-synthetic systems. **TOPICS** BIONETICS 2012 solicits contributions dealing with the modeling and application of ideas from natural processes and systems. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Signal/information processing and communication models in biological systems - Coordination and cooperation models in biological systems - Bio-inspired formal models and methods - Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms - Bio-inspired software and hardware systems - Biomimetics, bioengineering, and synthetic biological systems - Modeling and simulation of bio-inspired systems, biological systems and synthetic biological systems - Self-properties in bio-inspired systems, biological systems and synthetic biological systems - Design and performance issues in bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems - Design of hybrid systems combining bio-inspired methods with methods from different domains - Tools, testbeds, and deployment issues in bio-inspired and synthetic biological systems - Real-world applications and standardization of bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems - Socially-aware, game theoretic, and other metaphor-driven interdisciplinary approaches to bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems - Change management, interoperability, and standards **SPECIAL TRACKS** - Organic computing systems - Bio-inspired cooperative networking - Engineering emergence: techniques, applications, and practice - Bio-inspired cooperation and coordination in swarm robotics and multi-robot systems - Bio-inspired learning mechanisms in single and multi-agent/component systems - Nano-scale communications and networking - Design and engineering of swarm systems - Bio-inspired intrusion detection in networks and multi-robot systems - Bio-inspired processing of audio and visual information - Modeling and application of gene regulatory networks - Bioinformatics **PUBLICATION** Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus. See http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-1068921-0 for more information about indexing. **JOURNAL FAST TRACK PUBLICATION** Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for fast track publication to one of the following journals: * Swarm Intelligence (SJR 2010 impact factor 3.4), Springer * Natural Computing(SJR 2010 impact factor 1.2), Springer * Journal of Bionformatics and Computational Biology(JBCB) (included in SCIE), World Scientific * Int. Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems, InderScience **BEST PAPER AWARD** A Best Paper Award will be given to the author(s) of the paper presented at the conference that will receive the best evaluation marks from the reviewers and the Session Chairs. Awardees are also granted complimentary registration fees for the next year's edition of the conference and are entitled to receive additional reward points under the ICST Science Rewards Program. **IMPORTANT DATES** August 7, 2012 - Workshop proposals August 12, 2012 - Notification of acceptance for workshops September 20, 2012 - Paper submission October 30, 2012 - Notification of acceptance for papers November 10, 2012 - Camera-ready version **PAPER SUBMISSION** The deadline for paper submission is September 20, 2012.
