11th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature (PPSN-XI)

Description

The eleventh International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN XI) will be held in Cracow, Poland on 11-15 September 2010. The biennial meeting aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of natural computing. Natural Computing is the study of computational systems which use ideas and get inspiration from natural systems, including biological, ecological, physical, chemical, and social systems. It is a fast-growing interdisciplinary field in which a range of techniques and methods are studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems with various sources of potential uncertainties.

PPSN XI will be a showcase of a wide range of topics in Natural Computing including, but not restricted to: Evolutionary Computation, Neural Computation, Molecular Computation, Quantum Computation, Artificial Life, Swarm Intelligence, Artificial Ant Systems, Artificial Immune Systems, Self-Organizing Systems, Emergent Behaviors, and Applications to Real-World Problems. PPSN XI will also feature workshops and tuturoials covering advanced and fundamental topics in the field of natural computation.

All accepted papers will be presented during poster sessions and will be included in the proceedings. Following the traditional of PPSN, proceedings will be published in the Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer. Prospective authors and invited to contribute their high-quality original results in the field of natural computation as papers of no more than 10 pages. The format should follow the Springer Verlang LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
