Sixth International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems, York, UK
5 December 2011 - 5 December 2011
United Kingdom
The Sixth International Conference on Bio-Inspired Models of Network, Information, and Computing Systems will take place from 5 to 7 December 2011 in York, UK.
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 may be able inspired by observing nature and adopting biological approaches, such as in the aforementioned distributed computing models.
The event will feature state-of-the-art keynote speeches, technical session, focussed special tracks, workshops and demo/poster sessions, along with entertaining social functions. Topics of discussion will include:
- bio-inspired formal models and methods;
- bio-inspired algorithms and mechanisms;
- bio-inspired software and hardware systems;
- properties in bio-inspired systems;
- design and performance issues of bio-inspired systems;
- tools, testbeds and deployment issues of bio-inspired systems;
- real-world applications/implementations and standardisation of bio-inspired systems;
- socially-inspired, game theoretic and other metaphor-driven interdisciplinary approaches to software and hardware systems.For further information, please visit: http://www.bionetics.org/index.shtml(opens in new window)
