CALL FOR PAPERS


The rapid developments in networking and resource integration domains have resulted in the emergence of distributed computing models such as Web Services and Cloud computing for solving very complex problems. However, biology has developed effective solutions to hard engineering challenges through millions of years of evolution. Several algorithms and techniques widely used in Computer Science have been adapted from, or inspired by, known biological phenomena. Computer scientists applying biomimetics can learn by observing nature and adopting biological approaches in the aforementioned distributed computing models.

The focus of this special track is on identifying the role that bio-inspired computing can play in the progress of computing and communications systems, in highlighting productive areas of research and in pinpointing precise application areas. Manuscripts unfolding mathematical models, algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of advanced computing and communications techniques that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this workshop.

This special track seeks high-quality, original and unpublished papers addressing topics relevant to the issues raised above, including:

* Biological fault tolerance, self-healing systems
* Bio-inspired mathematical methods
* Machine learning
* Computational intelligence
* Collaborative self-organizing systems
