Abstract

The International Conference on Nature of Computation and Communication is a place for highly original ideas about how the nature is going to shape computing systems of the future. Hence, it focuses on rigorous approaches and cutting-edge solutions, which encompass three classes of major methods: -    Those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel problem solving techniques; -    Those that are based on the use of computers or networks to synthesize natural phenomena; and -    Those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules,) to compute or communicate. Its purpose is to make a formal basis more accessible to researchers, scientists, professionals and students as well as developers and practitioners in ICT by providing them with state-of-the-art research results, applications, opportunities and future trends.
