> 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 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) *
>
> *PAPERS*:
>
> The conference invites original technical papers that have not been
> previously published and are not currently under review for publication
> elsewhere. Contributions addressing all areas related to bio-inspired
> technologies are solicited.
> * SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: *
>
> All paper, poster, panel, and workshop submissions will be handled
> electronically. Please visit the conference website
> http://www.bionetics.org for detailed submission requirements and
> procedures.
> * PUBLICATION:*
>
> All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by technical
> program committee members and the reviewers they invite. A selected number
> of best papers will be considered for publication in a *leading journal*.
> *IMPORTANT DATES*
