Worskop New Worlds of Computation (NWC '11)

Topics
The special issue aims at gathering papers from a wide beyond-Turing
(and off-Turing) community in order to bring forth common
problematics as well as divergent results.
The New Worlds of Computation workshop series concentrates on models
of computation that fall out of the Turing context:
* Analog computation
* Continuous computation
* Hybrid systems
* Computation on infinite structures (Ordinals, linear orders...)
* Hypercomputation
* Infinite time computation
* Non-Euclidean spaces
* Non-standard approaches
* Optical collision
* Spatial computing
* Abstract geometrical computation
* Cellular automata
* Collision based, quantum, fuzzy, DNA, membrane...
The classical Turing computability has been THE paradigm for
computation for more than half a century. In less than two decades,
various paradigms have been proposed (invented, discovered or
reframed) and communities have emerged: computable analysis, algebraic
models, Quantum computing, DNA, Cellular automaton... All of them
venture outside the classical context because they manipulate objects
that are just out of the classical scope (infinite objects or
uncountably many values) or continuous or infinite time or have very
different complexity classes. Unfortunately, there is no miraculous
generalized Church-Turing thesis (nor specialized analog nor...).
The audience aimed at is roughly the same as:
* Machines, Computations and Universality
* Unconventional Computation [and Natural Computation]
* Computability in Europe
* Hypercomputation Research Network
