4th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF NATURAL COMPUTING
TPNC 2015
Mieres, Spain
December 15-17, 2015
Organized by:
European Centre for Soft Computing

AIMS:
TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of
computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information
processing in nature. TPNC 2015 will reserve significant room for young
scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put
on methodology. The conference aims at attracting contributions to
nature-inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature by means of
computation, nature-inspired materials, and information processing in
nature.
VENUE:
TPNC 2015 will take place in Mieres, in the north of Spain. The city is the
heart of the coal mining industry in the country, today declining. The venue
will be the European Centre for Soft Computing:

- Theoretical contributions to:
amorphous computing
bacterial foraging
cellular automata
chaos and dynamical systems based computing
evolutionary computing
membrane computing

cryptography
design
economics
graphics
hardware
human-computer interaction
knowledge discovery
learning
logistics
