General Information:
ICARIS 2012 aims to build on the success of previous years to provide 
a forum for AIS researchers in academia and industry to present and 
discuss their latest advances. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, 
ICARIS 2012 will present a range of plenary lectures and tutorials to 
inspire and facilitate both the computer scientists and immunologists 
in their work.
ICARIS 2012 is divided into two main tracks:
* 28 and 29 August 2012: Computational Immunology, Immunoinformatics & 
Systems Immunology
http://www.artificial-immune-systems.org/icaris/2012/callForPapers.php
(for Oral Presentations & Posters submission)
* 30 and 31 August 2012: Immunological Computation, Immune-inspired 
Engineering,
Immune-inspired Heuristics
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaris2012
(for Full papers submission)
http://www.artificial-immune-systems.org/icaris/2012/callForPapers.php
(for Oral Presentations & Posters submission)
- TRACK on Computational Immunology, Immunoinformatics & Systems Immunology
***********************************************************************************
Special Issue in Immunomics Research Journal and Natural Computing
Plenary Speaker:
- Piero Mastroeni, University of Cambridge, UK
More Speakers will be announced.
***********************************************************************************
This track aims is to attract researchers from computer science, 
information science, engineering, biomathematics, biomedicine, 
bioinformatics, systems biology, and immunology to share and exchange 
their knowledge of state-of-the-art research issues, methodologies, 
ideas, and challenges.
Topics of interest include:
* Immune modelling;
* Structural Immunoinformatics;
* Epitope analysis and prediction;
* Analysis and prediction of MHC-peptide binding;
* Databases and ontologies for Immunoinformatics;
* Analysis and prediction of minor histocompatibility antigens;
* Predictive models on organ transplantation;
* Immunogenomics;
* Vaccine design;
* Multi-agent based models of immunity;
* Gene networks and systems biology in immunity;
* Allergenicity prediction.
In this track, authors are requested to submit an abstract following 
the instructions on ICARIS 2012 website:
http://www.artificial-immune-systems.org/icaris/2012/callForPapers.php
The abstract submissions must be done no later than the submission 
deadline: 15 April 2012 (extended). All accepted abstracts will be 
published in a book of abstracts. Full versions of the best works on 
this track will be published in the Immunomics Research Journal and 
Natural Computing.
- Track on Immunological Computation, Immune-inspired Engineering & 
Immune-inspired Heuristics
***********************************************************************************
Special Issue in Evolutionary Intelligence and Natural Computing
Plenary Speaker:
- Stephanie Forrest, University of New Mexico, USA
More Speakers will be announced.
***********************************************************************************
This track is for papers describing applications to computational and 
engineering problems, and theoretical aspects (e.g. mathematical 
modelling of algorithms, convergence analysis, empirical investigation 
into algorithm performance and complexity analysis) of AIS. For the 
first class, the problem domain should be clearly explained, detailing 
why it is challenging and why AIS are a suitable methodology to use. 
Experiments should be carefully explained, with the expectation that 
appropriate statistical analysis of results will be used to help draw 
conclusions. Where possible, the approach taken should be compared 
with alternative strategies. In order to appeal to the widest 
audience, theoretical papers must ensure that mathematical arguments 
and backgrounds are clearly presented, and the paper should also 
discuss the practical implications of any theoretical results.
In this track authors may submit their manuscripts in two different 
ways: abstract paper, or regular paper (as usual tradition).
* Abstract paper
Authors must follow the instructions described on ICARIS 2012 website:
http://www.artificial-immune-systems.org/icaris/2012/callForPapers.php
* Regular paper
All papers will undergo a double blind review process, and they should 
be no longer than fourteen (14) pages. Is recommended that authors 
name and affiliation should not appear on the paper. Authors are 
requested to submit a PDF file at the link 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaris2012 following the 
formatting instructions at the Springer-Verlag LNCS site, no later 
than the submission deadline: 15 April 2012 (extended).
All accepted papers, as for the previous editions, will be published 
in Springer's series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The authors of 
best (regular) papers on this track will be invited to extend their 
work for publication in Evolutionary Intelligence and Natural 
Computing journals.
NOTE:
During the submission authors must make clear which stream the paper 
should to be considered for. You will be provided a reference number 
that will be used throughout the submission process.
We look forward to welcoming you to Taormina in August 2012.
C. Coello Coello, J. Greensmith, N. Krasnogor, P. Lio', G. Nicosia, M. Pavone.
