Scope
The capabilities of computers based on the von-Neumann architecture and the scaling of circuits have become increasingly uncertain in addressing the exponentially growing demand for computers driven by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. This has led to growing interest in various kinds of computers based on new operating principles, such as biological and physical systems, as well as emerging devices. The objective of this symposium is to provide an opportunity to discuss the future of computing by a variety of researchers studying unconventional computers. The symposium will be constructed by multidisciplinary sessions consisting of speakers from different fields and focused sessions for silicon technologies, spintronics, and neurobiocomputing.
Topics of interest include:
- Artificial neural networks
- Asynchronous circuits
- Biocomputing
- Brain computer
- Brain imaging
- Brain-machine interfaces
- Cultured neuronal networks
- Computational neuroscience
- Data analysis
- Emerging devices for unconventional computers
- Machine learning
- Neural hardware
- Neurodynamics
- Neuromorphic computing
- Probabilistic computing
- Quantum (simulated quantum) computing
- In/near memory computing
- Real-world computing
- Reinforcement learning
- Reservoir computing
- Spintronics
