BIONETICS 2010

''Submission Deadline July 30: BIONETICS 2010 (http://www.bionetics.org/) The 5th Int'l Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems

December 1 - 3, 2010

Boston, MA, USA

Sponsored by ICST (Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering)

Technical cooperation with Create-Net

BIONETICS 2010 aims to provide a world-leading and unique opportunity for bringing together researchers and practioners from diverse disciplines that seek the understanding of the fundamental principles and design strategies in biological systems and leverage those understandings to build bio-inspired systems. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following topics (but not limited to): ''

Topics

 * Signal/information processing and communication models in biological systems
 * Bio-inspired formal models and methods
 * Bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms
 * Bio-inspired software and hardware systems
 * Biomimetics, bioenginereing and synthetic biological systems
 * Self-properties in bio-inspired systems and biological systems
 * Design and performance issues in bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems
 * Tools, testbeds and deployment aspects in bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems
 * Real-world applications and standardization of bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems
 * Socially-aware, game theoretic and other metaphor-driven interdisciplinary approaches to bio-inspired systems and synthetic biological systems

Application domains include, but not limited to, autonomic computing, bioinformatics, biological engineering, computer networks, computer vision, data mining, green computing and networking, grid/cloud computing, intelligent agents, mechanical engineering, molecular communication, nano-scale computing and networking, optimization, pervasive computing, robotics, security, software engineering, and systems engineering.
