8th International Conference on the Theory and Practice of Natural Computing
TPNC 2019
- URL: http://tpnc2019.irdta.eu/
- Event Date: 2019-12-09 ~ 2019-12-11
- Submission Date: 2019-07-27
- Location: Kingston, Jamaica
AIMS:
TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information processing in nature. TPNC 2019 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology. The conference aims at attracting contributions to nature-inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature by means of computation, nature-inspired materials, and information processing in nature.
VENUE:
TPNC 2019 will take place in Kingston, a city midway between Toronto and Montréal with an important military history. The venue will be:
Royal Military College of Canada
Kingston, Ontario
Canada K7K 7B4
https://www.rmc-cmr.ca/en
SCOPE:
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical contributions to:
ant colony optimization
artificial immune systems
artificial life
cellular automata
cognitive computing
collective behaviour
collective intelligence
computational intelligence
computing with words
developmental systems
DNA computing
DNA nanotechnology
evolutionary algorithms
evolutionary computing
fuzzy logic
fuzzy sets
fuzzy systems
genetic algorithms
genetic programming
granular computing
heuristics
intelligent agents
intelligent systems
machine intelligence
metaheuristics
molecular programming
multiobjective optimization
neural networks
quantum communication
quantum computing
quantum information
rough sets
self-organization
soft computing
swarm intelligence
unconventional computing
- Applications of natural computing to:
algorithmics
bioinformatics
control
cryptography
design
economics
graphics
hardware
human-computer interaction
knowledge discovery
learning
logistics
medicine
natural language processing
optimization
pattern recognition
planning and scheduling
programming
robotics
telecommunications
web intelligence
A flexible "theory to/from practice" approach would be the perfect focus for the expected contributions.
