HARD DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS

Taking into account the numerous requests we would like to announce that the HARD Deadline for submissions has been extended to 20 August 2014.

BECOME A REVIEWER:

Please send your CV to [email protected]

We usually select reviewers based on a few criteria as follows:

  • Qualification of reviewer (PhD – depending on subject area)

  • Whether they have reviewed before

  • The number of papers they have published in their given area of expertise

  • How well those papers have been cited

  • Recommendations from other researchers/reviewers they know or have worked with

Once we approve your qualifications, you will be counted in the list of reviewers on this website. Review period will start up after the deadline of submission.

SCI(E) JOURNALS PUBLICATION

Two Special Issues have been allocated for selected papers by the following prestigious journals

WORKSHOPS

Second International Workshop on Formal Methods for Self-Adaptive Systems (FMSAS 2014)

Chaired by Dr. Emil Vassev, Lero at University of Limerick (UL) in Ireland

KEYNOTE SPEECH 1: Evolving Critical Systems

Prof. Mike Hinchey, Director of Lero - The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre at University of Limerick (UL) in Ireland will give a talk at ICTCC 2014 on a hot topic of the nature in computing and communicating with the title of Evolving Critical Systems

KEYNOTE SPEECH 2: Adaptive Complex Systems: from Formal Approaches to Bio-Inspired Approaches

Prof. Giacomo Cabri at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy will give a talk at ICTCC 2014 on a hot topic of the nature in computing and communicating with the title of Adaptive complex systems: from formal approaches to bio-inspired approaches

KEYNOTE SPEECH 3: Self-Adaptation in Collective Adaptive Systems

International Conference on Nature of Computation and Communication (ICTCC)

The ICTCC 2014 jointly organized by EAI and Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU) is a place for highly original ideas about how the nature is going to shape computing systems of the future. Hence, it focuses on rigorous approaches and cutting-edge solutions, which encompass three classes of major methods:

  • Those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel problem solving techniques;
  • Those that are based on the use of computers or networks to synthesize natural phenomena; and
  • Those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules,) to compute or communicate.

Its purpose is to make a formal basis more accessible to researchers, scientists, professionals and students as well as developers and practitioners in ICT by providing them with state-of-the-art research results, applications, opportunities and future trends.

We hope that the conference will receive many papers and the participation of a large number of students, researchers, and professionals from all over the world.

Original papers are solicited for the ICTCC 2014. In particular, theoretical contributions should be formally stated and justified, and practical applications should be based on their firm formal basis. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

SCOPE OF TOPICS:

  • Autonomic computing/communicating
  • Amorphous computing
  • Biologically-inspired computing/communicating
  • Cellular automata
  • Cellular computing
  • Collective intelligence in computing/communicating
  • Collision-based computing
  • Computation/communication based on chaos and dynamical systems
  • Context-aware computing/communicating
  • DNA computing
