International Workshop on Natural Computing 2009

The complex behavior of systems in nature is rooted in intricate mechanisms of interactions that not only have much in common with human made systems of computation, but actually supersede those in terms of reliability, power efficiency, and computational capacity. It is thus no surprise that natural systems have become the inspiration of novel algorithms that are based on non-standard computational mechanisms.

SPECIAL SESSION on Unconventional Models of Communication:
A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized communication systems capable of operating under changing environments and
noisy input. In the special session on Unconventional Models of Communication, we invite authors to submit papers on models, protocols, and
architectures for the management and control of information and communication networks inspired by concepts from biology, physics, nanotechnology, or social sciences.
