Call for Posters TPNC 2016

The 5th International Conference on the Theory and Practice of Natural Computing (TPNC 2016) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. TPNC 2016 will be held in Sendai (Japan) on December 12-13, 2016. See

Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with the conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion.

TOPICS

Presentations displaying novel work in progress on computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information processing in nature are invited. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome.
