Conference Theme
================

"Spatial Computing" acknowledges the fact that future hardware,
resulting from nano-technology research, will rely on a huge number of
unreliable processing elements, heterogeneously distributed in a 2D or
3D space. In such a computing environment, communication costs
increase as the distance between elements becomes larger. This strong
locality constraint asks for the design of new programming languages
and requires the development of new programming models.

Amorphous computing is a "bottom-up" approach to this problem: it
proposes some new "spatial" algorithms based on an amorphous
unreliable medium with no temporal nor spatial regularity. These
algorithms allow the handling of space in an abstract way:
computation of coordinates in the space of each processing element,
movement of particles following gradients, computation of Voronoï
diagrams, wave propagation, quorum sensing...

Submission details
==================

Communication proposal (extended abstract or full paper) should be
sent in an electronic form at amorphous at ibisc.univ-evry.fr. Articles
should not be more that 20 pages long, using for French contributions
the TSI guidelines (http://tsi.revuesonline.com/appel.jsp) and for
English contributions the IJUC guidelines
(http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/IJUC/IJUC%20Contributor%20notes.html).

After the conference, two special issues on amorphous and spatial
computing in TSI (for papers written in French) or in the
International Journal of Unconventional Computing (for papers in
English) will host a revised and extended version of the best papers.
