Call for Presentations
New Worlds
of Computation (NWC 2017)
12-14 Apr.
2017 in Orléans (France)
https://nwc2017-jcal.sciencesconf.org
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

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 2017Notifications: 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).
