Sorry, in my previous email I made a mistake. The final deadline of
submissions is July 21, and not July 26, as written. Please, find below the
correct CFP.

 

Thank you very much, and apologizes.

Background

----------

 

Biology has served as inspiration for Computer Science in recent years,
given that biological systems tend to be adaptive, reactive, and
distributed. Thus, bio-inspired computing is a multi-disciplinary field
devoted to studying complex problems using computational methods modeled
after design principles encountered in nature. This way, novel and
unconventional solutions are accomplished to tackle current challenges in
science.

 

This session aims at examining different solutions to complex problems using
nature inspired approaches, and their interplay with cutting-edge technology
in High Performance Computing. We invite researchers and scientists in this
area to participate and contribute to this event.

Papers, short papers and posters are welcome.

Publishing

----------

 

Paper Submissions

 

Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted
elsewhere until it appears in HPCS proceedings, in the case of acceptance,
or notified otherwise. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your
full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template,
and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words.
Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a
cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone
numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the
corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the
manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters will
also be considered.

 

Publication

 

Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. 

Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on
the HPCS 2020 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings
formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of
the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE or
ACM Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.

 

Special issue

 

Plans are underway to have the best papers, in extended version, selected
for possible publication in a reputable journal as special issue. Detailed
information will soon be announced and will be made available on the
conference website.
