Workshop on Natural Computing

The workshop is organized as a part of the 23rd Conference ITAT (Information technologies -- Applications and Theory), which takes place in hotel Hutník I from September 22rd to September 26th 2023.

We encourage especially young researchers and PhD students to present their work and exchange ideas in an inspiring and informal environment. Submissions are welcome in the area of natural computing, i.e., computational processes observed in nature, and human-designed computing inspired by nature. Topics include (but are not restricted to):

Molecular computing (e.g., DNA computing)
Cell-inspired computing (membrane computing, amorphous computing)
Cellular automata, swarm intelligence, nature-inspired algorithms
Artificial immune systems, artificial life
Synthetic biology, biological networks (genetic networks, protein-protein networks, transport networks)
Deep learning systems and applications
