12th International Conference on
UNCONVENTIONAL COMPUTATION AND NATURAL COMPUTATION UCNC 2013 previously Unconventional Computation 1-5 July 2013 Milano, Italy http://ucnc2013.disco.unimib.it ucnc2013@disco.unimib.it Important dates * Submission deadline: 17 February 2013 (extended) * Notification to authors: 25 March 2013 * Final version: 1 May 2013 * Conference: 1-5 July 2013 UCNC 2013 is organised by Dipartimento di Informatica, Sistemistica e Comunicazione (Department of Computer Science, Systems and Communication) of Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. Topics The topics of the conference include all areas of unconventional computation and natural computation, including (but not limited to) quantum, cellular, molecular, neural, DNA, membrane, and evolutionary computing; cellular automata; computation based on chaos and dynamical systems; massive parallel computation; collective intelligence; computation based on physical principles such as relativistic, optical, spatial, collision-based computing; amorphous computing; physarum computing; hypercomputation. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome. Submissions Authors are invited to submit original papers (at most 12 pages in LNCS format) using EasyChair.org, at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucnc2013 Papers must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). The revised version of the manuscripts, to appear in a LNCS volume by Springer, must be prepared in LaTeX according to the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/ lncs+authors). The papers must not have been submitted simultaneously to other conferences with published proceedings. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. The proceedings will be available at the conference venue. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved version of their contribution to a special issue of an international journal.
