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 observati on, 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. Topics The conference invites original technical papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following areas including but not limited to these topics: - Bio-Inspired mathematical models, methods and tools
- Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanism
- Bio-inspired technical systems
- Bio-inspired information and communication systems (ICT)
Publication All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. A selection of the submitted paper will be considered for a Special Issue in the International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS) and outstanding papers on performance evaluation will be selected for possible publication at PEVA, conditioned on another round of review. Important Dates: Full Papers due: June 21, 2009 Notification of authors: August 21, 2009 Camera-ready papers: September 20 , 2009 | |
