                     The 16th International Workshop on
                  Nature Inspired Distributed Computing
                                       (NIDISC'13)

                           held in conjunction with
                       The 27th IEEE International
   Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium  (IPDPS'2013)
                                 20-24 May 2013

Workshop Theme :
=================

Techniques based on metaheuristics and nature-inspired paradigms can
provide efficient solutions to a wide variety of problems. Moreover,
parallel and distributed metaheuristics can be used to provide more
powerful problem solving environments in a variety of fields, ranging,
for example, from finance to bio- and health-informatics.

This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers to explore
the connection between metaheuristics and the development of solutions
to problems that arise in operations research, parallel computing,
telecommunications, bioinformatics, and many others.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Nature-inspired methods (e.g. ant colonies, GAs, cellular automata,
DNA and molecular computing, local search, etc.) for problem solving 
environments.

* Parallel and distributed metaheuristics techniques (algorithms, technologies 
and tools).

* Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed computing and
optimization techniques as well as theoretical issues (convergence, complexity, 
etc).

* Other algorithms and applications relating the above mentioned research areas.

Prospective authors of high quality research contributions are invited
to submit an electronic copy of their manuscript not exceeding 10 two-column 
pages
including figures and references in the traditional IEEE format used in IPDPS.
Please, use Postscript or PDF when possible. In your email, please indicate 
paper title,
 author(s), and the corresponding author.

A selected group of papers from the workshop will be invited to
submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of an
international scholarly journal. Further announcements will be made
during the workshop.
