1st International Workshop on Bio-inspired Approaches to Advanced Computing and Communications (BioAdcom2010)
http://www.bionetics.org/ws/BioAdcom.shtml
Co-located with
5th International ICST Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems (BIONETICS 2010)
Boston, Massachusetts, December 1-3, 2010
Call for papers
---------------
The rapid developments in networking and resource integration domains have resulted in the emergence of distributed computing models such as Web Services, P2P, Grid and Cloud computing for solving very complex problems. However, biology has developed effective solutions to hard engineering challenges through millions of years of evolution. Several algorithms and techniques widely used in Computer Science have been adapted from, or inspired by, known biological phenomena. Computer scientists applying biomimetics can learn by observing nature and adopting biological approaches in the aforementioned distributed computing models.
The focus of BioAdcom2010 is on identifying the role that bio-inspired computing can play in the progress of computing and communications systems, in highlighting productive areas of research and in pinpointing precise application areas. Manuscripts unfolding mathematical models, algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of advanced computing and communications techniques that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this workshop. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers internationally.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer.
The specific topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Biological fault tolerance, self-healing systems
* Bio-inspired mathematical methods
