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invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that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 July 30, 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.
