*****************************************************************
Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked
devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at
multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and
nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous,
and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally
unsupervised way.
The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust
decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing
environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and
response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and
processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how
to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties
comparable to social entities.
Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an
elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts.
Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed
in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such
systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical
solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as
biological entities often have.
The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and
scientists from several disciplines in computer science and
engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are
soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas
including but not limited to the these topics:
a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools:
- Mathematical models of biological processes
- Cellular signaling pathways
- Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties
- Nano-scale and molecular communication
b) Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms
- Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms
- Artificial immune and self-healing systems
- Self-organizing network paradigms
- Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms
c) Bio-inspired technical systems:
- Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems
- Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization
- Pandemic service deployment strategies
- Self-learning defense strategies
d) Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT):
- Network algorithms and protocols
- Autonomic communication systems
- Evolution of network architectures and protocols
- Adaptive and self-healing network architectures
- In-network processing and autonomic networking
- Adaptive sensor and actor networks
- Topology control and network organization
- Localization and synchronization
- Mobility models
- Multi-agent systems and robotics
- Novel applications and services
- Network and information security
- Experimental studies
Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages or short
papers of up to 4 pages in ACM conference proceedings format. The
proceedings will be an ICST publication and the papers will be listed
on the ACM DL and indexed by EI. Please follow the instructions on the
