This symposium, focussing on the theory and application of
nature-inspired computing techniques will take place as part of the
AISB 2013 convention from April 2nd-5th 2013 at the University of
Exeter, Exeter, UK.
The congress is organised by the Society of the Study of Artificial
Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB)
The congress website can be found here: http://www.aisb.org.uk/events/aisb13/
Symposium Description
----------------------
Nature-Inspired Computing covers a wide range of algorithms that take
inspiration from natural systems such as evolution, swarm
intelligence, human intelligence and life processes to create
algorithms that exceed the performance of their traditional rivals in
a wide variety of application areas. This symposium is designed to
provide a forum for researchers in the field of Nature Inspired
Computation (broadly considered) to present theoretical advances and
novel applications in this field and to discuss NICA in a wider
context.
Call for Papers
----------------------
Authors are invited to submit their original work in the areas
including, but not limited to:
- Evolutionary algorithms
- Swarm intelligence algorithms (e.g ACO, PSO, Bee Hive algorithms)
- Neural networks (e.g. ANNs, SOMs, RBF Networks)
- Decision Trees, Bayesian and Statistical Machine Learning
- Cellular Automata & Artificial Life
- Hybrid Nature-Inspired Algorithms
- Parallel and GPGPU Implementations of Nature-Inspired Computing
This work should describe a new or modified nature-inspired method, or
a novel application to a problem domain. Domains of interest include,
but are not limited to:
- Cognitive Science
- Machine Creativity (e.g. music & art)
- Operations Research
- Bioinformatics
- Engineering Design
- Classification and Prediction in Large-Scale Datasets
- Logic & Computability & Natural Language Processing
Submission Formats
----------------------
Regular paper : 8 pages
Short paper : 4 pages
Please submit extended abstracts (between 1 and 2 pages in length) in
Microsoft Word format by the deadline below using the NICA Word
Template (available on the website). Please submit papers by e-mailing
a PDF copy of your paper along with your contact details to the
symposium chair.

Convention Information
----------------------
The Convention will consist mainly of a number of collocated Symposia
on specific research areas, interspersed with Congress-wide
refreshment breaks, social events and invited Plenary Talks. All
papers other than the invited Plenaries will be given within Symposia.
Proceedings
----------------------
There will be a separate proceedings for each symposium, produced
before the Convention.
Each delegate at the Conference will receive, on arrival, a memory
stick containing the proceedings of all symposia.
