Extended deadline, March 17, 2014 for submission to the post-conference journal special issue!
Proceedings are available online as volume LNCS 8273. You can find information about it at Springer or access the online version at http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-3-642-45007-5/.
Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with the conference participants, at the same time permitting in-depth discussion.
Authors are encouraged to submit presentations that discuss novel work in progress on:
Posters do not need to present final research results. Work that may lead to new interesting developments is welcome.
Please submit a .pdf abstract through: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpnc2013. It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words.
Posters will be allocated 8 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging during the whole conference for discussion.
Posters will not appear in the LNCS proceedings volume of TPNC 2013. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference Soft Computing journal special issue.
Authors of accepted posters have to register to the conference. Their registration fare is reduced: 150 Euro (appr. one third of the fare for PhD students). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter too.

TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information processing in nature. TPNC 2013 will reserve significant room for young scholars at the beginning of their career. It aims at attracting contributions to nature-inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature by means of computation, nature-inspired materials, and information processing in nature.
Topics of either theoretical, experimental, or applied interest include, but are not limited to:
A flexible "theory to/from practice" approach would be the perfect focus for the expected contributions.
TPNC 2013 will consist of
Authors are invited to submit non-anonymized papers in English presenting original and unpublished research.
