Please see our website for information<span> </span>https://nnpc-conference.com/<span> </span>.</div><div><br></div><div>The general aim of the conference is to boost interdisciplinary transfer of ideas and networking in the wider fields of non-digital computing. NNPC 2023 is a successor to the 2018 conference “Cognitive Computing: Merging Concepts with Hardware” (https://nnpc-conference.com/2018/) whose very productive and motivating format will be kept. The event is generously supported by the Volkswagen Foundation.</div><div><br></div><div>The conference will run in 5 single-track sessions.</div><div>1.<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Theory: new concepts and mathematical foundations,</div><div>2.<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Physical substrates: materials, devices, micro-architectures,</div><div>3.<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Guides from nature: neuroscience, theoretical biology, complex systems,</div><div>4.<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Scaling up: modular architectures, complex data structures and processes,</div><div>5.<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Applications: demonstrators, use-cases, user interfacing, hybrid solutions.</div><div><br></div><div>To ensure maximum participation, all attendees are required to submit a 2-page abstract on a subject relating to one of the session themes. These abstracts are peer-reviewed. All accepted submissions will be granted an oral or poster presentation slot, and hosted publicly on the conference website upon agreement by the authors. Importantly, novelty is not essential as our aim is to make knowledge to diffuse across boundaries of the scientific domains involved. Submission form will be available on the conference website shortly.</div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>•<span style="white-space: pre;" data-mce-style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Submission deadline: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;" data-mce-style="text-decoration: line-through;">March 15th 2023</span>. <!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif;
