Dear Colleagues (Apologies if you receive this more than once),
To accommodate those not quite finished but hoping to submit
enough time to complete their papers, we have agreed to
extend the deadline for submission by two weeks until friday April
15, 2005.
Depending on their content, refereed extended versions of selected
paper will be published on a special issue of either Natural Computing
or Nonlinear Analysis C-series.
Kind Regards,
Organizing Committee

International Workshop on Natural and Artificial Immune Systems
(NAIS 2005)
Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy, June 9-10, 2005

* Venue
International Institute For Advanced Scientific Studies (IIASS),
"E.R.Caianiello", Vietri sul Mare, (SA) Italy.

* Important Dates
Submission deadline: April 15 2005
Acceptance/Rejection notification: May 2, 2005
Camera-ready copy of papers: June 6, 2005
Workshop Date: June 9-10, 2005
* Aims and Scope
The workshop aims at catalyzing the interaction between modelers (computer
scientists, mathematicians and physicists), immunologists and biologists
interested in discussing the information processing mechanisms
emerging in the functionalities of either natural or artificial immune
systems.
The leading idea motivating this event is the attention to the various
forms of “intelligent thinking” underlying the many
attack/defense/adaptation strategies discovered in natural systems, such
as tumor and virus escape mechanisms of
animals and humans, or implemented in artificial systems.
This approach may reap several basic benefits of the original
cybernetics paradigm:
-the emergence of the mind from chemical-physical reactions that can
be studied and simulated,
- the use of natural processing mechanisms for solving artificial
problems, and the cross-fertilization of the natural and artificial
research environments,
-the adoption of comprehensive immune system models in the
development of new therapeutic approaches.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
# Computational Immunology
# Immunological Computation
# Immunoinformatics
# modelling and simulation of immune systems
# model testing and game theory
# biological and immersive learning
# network security and artificial virus attacks
# comparisons between Artificial Immune Systems and other
biologically-inspired paradigms
# theory and applications of Immunological Computing
# Immunocomputing
