Workshop on Natural Computing

This workshop is held as part of the 25th Conference on Information Technologies – Applications and Theory (ITAT), taking place at Hotel Telgárt, Nízke Tatry, Slovakia, from September 26 to 30, 2025.

We particularly encourage young researchers and PhD students to present their work and engage in idea exchange within a friendly and stimulating atmosphere. We welcome submissions in the field of natural computing, encompassing both computational processes occurring in nature and computing methods inspired by natural phenomena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

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

Invited talk:

• TBA

Submissions should be 5–8 pages in length, in A4 two-column format, written in English using LaTeX and the CEUR LaTeX template. Papers must present original, unpublished results and be submitted via the EasyChair system. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by two members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the ITAT proceedings, available through the CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org) and indexed in Scopus.
