BIONETICS 2011 - 6th International ICST Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems

The 6th International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems

December 5th - 7th, 2011 York, England

Sponsored by ICST (Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering). Technical cooperation with Create-Net

Bionetics 2011 aims to provide a world-leading and unique opportunity for bringing together researchers and practitioners 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.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

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
Modeling and simulation of bio-inspired systems, biological systems and synthetic biological systems
Self-* properties in bio-inspired systems, biological systems and synthetic 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.
