TPNC 2013 will reserve significant room for young scholars at t= he beginning of their career. It aims at attracting contributions to nature= -inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature by means of computatio= n, nature-inspired materials, and information processing in nature. VENUE: TPNC 2013 will take place in C=C3=A1ceres, in Western Spain, 300 kms. to th= e southwest of Madrid and 100 kms. to the Portuguese border. The old city i= s a UNESCO World Heritage site. SCOPE: Topics of either theoretical, experimental, or applied interest include, bu= t are not limited to: * Nature-inspired models of computation: - amorphous computing - cellular automata=20 - chaos and dynamical systems based computing - evolutionary computing - membrane computing - neural computing - optical computing=20=20 - swarm intelligence=20 * Synthesizing nature by means of computation: - artificial chemistry - artificial immune systems - artificial life * Nature-inspired materials: - computing with DNA - nanocomputing - physarum computing - quantum computing and quantum information - reaction-diffusion computing * Information processing in nature: - developmental systems=20 - fractal geometry - gene assembly in unicellular organisms - rough/fuzzy computing in nature - synthetic biology - systems biology * Applications of natural computing to: algorithms, bioinformatics, control= , cryptography, design, economics, graphics, hardware, learning, logistics,= optimization, pattern recognition, programming, robotics, telecommunicatio= ns etc. A flexible "theory to/from practice" approach would be the perfect focus fo= r the expected contributions. STRUCTURE: TPNC 2013 will consist of: =E2=80=90 invited talks =E2=80=90 invited tutorials =E2=80=90 peer-reviewed contributions INVITED SPEAKERS: to be announced PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: Selim G.
