**************************************************
Sponsored by - The 21st Century Center of Excellence Program of
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science
and Technology (MEXT), Japan, under the Program Title
"New Information Technologies for Building a Networked
Symbiosis Environment"
Technically Co-Sponsored by - IEEE ComSom Japan Chapter
Bio-ADIT 2006 follows the success of the first workshop Bio-ADIT
2004 held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL),
Switzerland in January 2004. The workshop is intended to provide an
effective forum for original research results in the field of bio-
inspired approaches to advanced information technologies. It will
also serve to foster the connection between biological paradigms and
solutions to building the next-generation information systems.
In particular, the aim of the workshop is to explore and discuss
how biologically inspired approaches can help designing the next
generation of information systems which, like their biological counter
parts, will be capable of adaptation, self-organization, replication,
and self-repair.
Bio-ADIT 2006 has three invited talks, 22 oral presentations and
8 poster presentations that are selected by careful reviews.
The talks and presentations cover a large range of topics including
networking, robotics, evolutionary computation, neural computation,
biochemical networks, reconfigurable hardware, and machine vision.
The contributions range from basic research in biology and in
information technology, to more application-oriented developments
in software and in hardware.
INVITED TALKS:
James C. Liao (University of California, USA)
Design of Synthetic Gene-Metabolic Circuits
Rolf Pfeifer (University of Zurich, Switzerland)
Morphological Computation: Connecting Brain, Body, and Environment
Toshio Yanagida (Osaka University, Japan)
Single Molecule Nano-Bioscience

for the registration.
DEMO SESSION
Bio-ADIT 2006 reserves the Demo Session to demonstration of
applications
and experiments in bio-inspired approaches to advanced information
technologies.
Researchers are invited to submit short proposals that describe the
demonstrated systems and clarify the contribution of the
demonstration to
this field. The proposals of two pages in PDF or PS format should
be sent to
Toshimitsu Masuzawa (masuzawa at ist.osaka-u.ac.jp)
by the deadline of the demonstration proposal
December 26, 2005.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Bio-ADIT 2006!
