Second International Workshop on Theoretical and Experimental Material Computing (TEMC 2020)
Material computing exploits unconventional physical substrates and/or unconventional computational models to perform physical computation in a non-silicon and/or non-Turing paradigm. Such computations find a natural home in a variety of ALife applications, including unconventional and soft robotics. TEMC 2020 will encompass a range of theoretical and experimental approaches to material computing. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from a range of connected fields, to inform of latest findings, to engage across the disciplines, to transfer discoveries and concepts from one field to another, and to inspire new collaborations and new ideas.
Submission Guidelines
You are invited to submit a 1–2 page abstract, by 11 April 2021, in any area of material computing, including unconventional and soft robotics.
