Call for Abstracts (TEMC 2024)

The Fifth International Workshop on Theoretical and Experimental Material Computing (TEMC 2024) will be held at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Republic of Korea, as a satellite workshop of the Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC 2024), 17–21 June 2024.

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 unconventional computing applications, including sensing and real time systems, and unconventional computing materials, including magnetic materials. TEMC 2024 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.

The TEMC programme committee invite you to submit a 1–2 page abstract, in any area of material computing, with an emphasis on magnetic materials. A collection of submissions covering the range of the theme will be selected for presentation (by short talk, or by poster) at the workshop. Submissions should be as PDFs and use the Springer LNCS template; information and downloads for this template can be found on the Springer website.
