The fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems, capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behavior and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical solutions which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated.

Keynote speakers:
George KESIDIS, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University.
Vivek S. BORKAR, Professor, School of Technology and Computer Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, INDIA.
Wolfgang BANZHAF, Professor and Head Department of Computer Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland, CANADA.
