Background

The International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC) series is a forum bringing together scientists from many different backgrounds who are united in their interest in novel forms of computation, human-designed computation inspired by nature, and computational aspects of natural processes. UCNC provides a forum for such scientists to meet and discuss their work. The 21st International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC 2024) will be held at the Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang, Republic of Korea on June 17-21, 2024 and will continue the tradition of focusing on current important theoretical and experimental results and their critical evaluation.

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original research papers (of, at most, 15 pages in LNCS format) through the conference EasyChair link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucnc2024

Papers must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF).

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, and authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for publication in a special issue of Natural Computing.

Papers must not be under simultaneous consideration by any other conference with published proceedings. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference.

Please note that these guidelines apply only to the main conference track; satellite workshops have their own submission procedures and publication arrangements.
