> Bio-ADIT 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The First International Workshop on Biologically Inspired
> Approaches to Advanced Information Technology
>
> January 29 - 30, 2004
>
> Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland
>
> Website: http://lslwww.epfl.ch/bio-adit2004/
>
> Sponsored by
> - Osaka University Forum,
> - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, and
> - The 21st Century Center of Excellence Program of
>   The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
>   Technology, Japan
>
> Biologically inspired approaches have already proved successful
> in achieving major breakthroughs in a wide variety of problems
> in information technology (IT). A more recent trend is to
> explore the applicability of bio-inspired approaches to the
> development of self-organizing, evolving, adaptive and
> autonomous information technologies, which will meet the
> requirements of next-generation information systems, such as
> diversity, scalability, robustness, and resilience. These new
> technologies will become a base on which to build a networked
> symbiotic environment for pleasant, symbiotic society of human
> beings in the 21st century.
>
> Bio-ADIT 2004 will be the first international workshop to
> present original research results in the field of bio-inspired
> approaches to advanced information technologies. It will also
> serve to foster the connection between biological paradigms
> and solutions to building the next-generation information
> systems.
>
> SCOPE:
>
> The primary focus of the workshop is on new and original research
> results in the areas of information systems inspired by biology.
> We invite you to submit papers that present novel, challenging,
> and innovative results. The topics include all aspects of
> bio-inspired information technologies in networks, distributed/
> parallel systems, hardware (including robotics) and software.
> We also encourage you to submit papers dealing with:
> - Self-organizing, self-repairing, self-replicating and
>   self-stabilizing systems
> - Evolving and adapting systems
> - Autonomous and evolutionary software and robotic systems
> - Scalable, robust and resilient systems
> - Complex biosystems
> - Gene, protein and metabolic networks
> - Symbiosis networks
>
> SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
>
> Authors are invited to submit complete and original papers.
> Papers submitted should not have been previously published in
> any forum, nor be under review for any journal or other
> conference. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality,
> correctness, originality and relevance. All accepted papers
> will be published in the conference proceedings. It is also
> planned to publish accepted papers as a book. Manuscripts
> should include an abstract and be limited to 16 pages in single
> spaced and single column format. Submissions should include
> the title, author(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address,
> fax number and postal address. In the case of multiple authors,
> an indication of which author is responsible for correspondence
> and preparing the camera ready paper for the proceedings should
> also be included. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged.
> Preferred file formats are PDF (.pdf) or Postscript (.ps). Visit
> our Web site at http://lslwww.epfl.ch/bio-adit2004/ for more
> information. Please contact Dr. Murata if you have to submit
> hard copies. Manuscripts should be submitted by September 5,
> 2003 through the Bio-ADIT Website. Please contact the technical
> program co-chairs for any questions:
