Call for Presentations
  
New Worlds of Computation (NWC 2017)
 
 
12-14 Apr. 2017 in Orléans (France)

    The 3rd edition of the International Workshop New Worlds of Computation (NWC 2017) will be held in Orléans, France, 12th to 14th April 2017. This edition will be co-located with the Journées du GT Calculabilités du GdR Informatique Mathématique, the French days on computabilities. What will computers be made out of in 2030? In 2050? What would be the main paradigm(s)? Would electronics be replaced by some other medium for common computers? For Clouds? For large computers? For dedicated treatments? It would be presumptuous to say when and by what, all or parts of our electronic devices would be replaced. Nevertheless, researchers explore many directions: optical, quantum, bio-computing, chemo-computing, DNA and the nano world… Would it be analog or digital? The workshop aims at gathering people interested and investigating the alternatives, providing fundamental or applied results. The ambition is to allow the presentation of the newest results as well as foster interactions between different perspectives. The third edition of the workshop will be co-localized with the Journées (French days) of the working group in Calculabilités (computabilities) from the GdR Informatique Mathématique of the CNRS. This working group will provide insights on what would be possible or not in future computers. This co-location will permit new encounters and  provide cross-fertilization.
 
 The topics involved include natural, unconventional and hyper computations: 
     
   - analog computation and computable analysis
   - computation on real, rings… (BSS)   
 
   - recursion theory   
 
   - continuous and hybrid computation
   - cellular automata
   - collision based computation
   - quantum computation
   - DNA computation and tile assembly systems
   - membrane computing
   - signal machines
   - computation on infinite structures or in infinite time   
 
   - non-Euclidean spaces, non-standard approaches
   - spatial, optical, fuzzy,… computation
 
Invited Speakers
     
   - ADAMATZKY Andrew, University of the West of England, Bristol
   - FOROUGHMAND-ARAABI Mohammad-Hadi, Sharif University of Technology, Iran
   - MAYORDOMO Elvira, Universidad de Zaragoza, Espagna
   - VALARCHER Pierre, Université Paris Est Créteil
 
Proceedings
 
  Proceedings are composed of a booklet collecting the abstracts of the presentations.
 After the workshop, a special issue of the International Journal on Unconventional Computing will be devoted to extended articles on the results presented at NWC.
  
Submission
  In order to make a presentation to one or both event, you have to submit a title and an (short textual) abstract. The refereeing process is not meant to be selective but to check the coherence with the topics. It is open to work in progress or presented elsewhere. Presentation slots will be large enough to present  context, results, methodology, proofs, expected progress… PhD student are particularly welcomed.    Submission deadline: 22th March 2017 Notifications: 13th and 27th March 2017
 There are multiple notification times since the referee process is targeted at verifying that it matches with the topics. The submission process is common to both event. One has to provide:    
   - Title
   - Abstract
   - Whose event it is intended to or if for both (i.e. one presentation common to both)
 To be able to access the submission page, one must be a logged registered user of sciencesconf.org. Registration is free and fast. When all is ready, go to the submission page. 
Registration
 Registration is free but compulsory. It includes lunches and banquet. Registration deadline : 10 April 2017 (otherwise on site, but no meal is garanteed).
