- Artificial Intelligence and Complex Systems
- Evolutionary Computing
- DNA Computing
- Biological Paradigms in Computer Science
Proceedings
Extended abstracts of all accepted presentations including posters and
computerdemos will be published in the conference abstract book which will
be distributed to all participants. It is planned that full length papers
will be invited by the PC for publication by Springer-Verlag "Lecture Notes
of Computer Science" after the conference.
