Call For Papers

The NICSO 2010 aims at promoting cooperative problem solving strategies bringing together international researchers and practitioners from different disciplines in order to discuss the investigations and exchange ideas on the current state of the art of the topic. The conference seeks contributions that are inspired by Nature and that encompass a range of spatio-temporal scales, for visionary conceptions of information processing and computation as pertaining to cooperation mechanisms in the context of problem solving.

All submitted papers will be blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Selection criteria will be based on relevance, originality, significance, impact, technical soundness and quality of the presentation. Contributions are expected to provide original results, insights and experimental innovations. Manuscripts must be in PDF, not exceeding 12 pages and conforming to the Latex template at the Springer's Instructions for Authors page. Contributions are welcome to submission through the system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nicso2010. The accepted papers will be published in the book series on Studies in Computational Intelligence (Springer). The authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to revise and extend their contributions for publication in a special issue in the Memetic Computing Journal (Springer).
