Submission of Papers



The World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing

(NABIC'09) brings together international researchers,developers,

practitioners, and users. The aim is to build a 3 day platform where

the concerned researchers /academicians /engineers from diverge

regions of the world would converge to share their excitement and

paradoxically, frustration towards the pursuit of building up of

machines that would not be strictly algorithmic in nature and are

capable of handling ambiguity, uncertainty etc. by applying common

sense.



The theme for this symposium is "Nurturing Intelligent Computing

Towards Advancement of Machine Intelligence".



The aim of NaBIC is to serve as a forum to present current and future

work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field. NABIC'09

invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that

demonstrates current research in all areas of Nature and Biologically

Inspired Computing, as well as proposals for workshops, industrial

presentations, demonstrations, and tutorials.

Authors should submit an electronic version of papers using the

submission system at Submission of Paper can be through following

link:-



http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nabic09





Submitted papers should be original and contain contributions of

theoretical, experimental or application nature, or be unique

experience reports.



Papers must be submitted no later than June 26, 2009 and electronic

submission in PDF is required. The page limit for a full-length paper

should consist of  six pages.



Short papers describing novel research visions, work-in-progress or

less mature results are also welcome, with the limit of 4 pages.



All submissions should be in the IEEE 8.5 two-column format. Papers

should contain up to 5 keywords. Papers will be evaluated for

originality, significance, clarity, and soundness, and will be
reviewed by at least three

independent reviewers.
