Developments in Computational Models 2009
Computational Models From Nature

Topics

The ambition of this workshop is to set up a forum for ideas about new computing means and models, with a particular emphasis this year on computational models derived from physics and biology. We believe that bringing those efforts together -in a community with a strong foundational background as the one proffered by the ICALP attendees- will result in inspirational cross-boundary exchanges, and innovative further research.

Specifically we are seeking contributions in quantum computation and information, probabilistic models, chemical, biological and bio-inspired ones, including spatial models, growth models and models of self-assembly.

Contributions putting to test the logical or algorithmic aspects of computing (eg, continuous computing with dynamical systems, or solid state computing models) would be welcome.

Accepted papers are now published on-line in the EPTCS volume 9.

Selected longer papers will be published in a special issue of IJSI, expected early April 2010.
