Unconventional Computation (www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/uc) in Sevilla, Spain
from 3 to 7 October 2005.

Beside a variety of excellent contributed papers, which were reviewed by
an international referee committee, the conference will include five
invited talks:

cis-regulatory code
o N. Seeman (New York): Not merely the secret of life
o C. Torras (Barcelona): A survey of neurocomputing experiences in
robotics

and three tutorials

o S. Istrail (Pasadena): Logic of networks
o I. Petre (Turku) and G. Rozenberg (Leiden): Computing with living cells
o G. Paun (Sevilla): Elementary aspects of membrane computing

Papers of both the invited and contributed talks will be published by
Springer LNCS Series and will be made available to participants during
the conference.

The registration fee of EUR 400 includes proceedings, reception,
excursion, coffee breaks, lunches, and conference dinner. Registration

Sevilla, one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, is at its best in
October. An explosion of colour and contrast: flamenco, bullfighting,
and a lively atmosphere in the streets due to the open and friendly
nature of its people. The river Guadalquivir, the Cathedral and the
Golden Tower are all places full of magic where the visitor can feel the
spirit of a city which is eternally romantic.
