Biologically Inspired Approaches to Advanced Information Technology

The refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Biologically Inspired Approaches to Advanced Information Technology, BioADIT 2006. The contributions range from basic research in biology and in information technology, to more application-oriented developments in software and in hardware. The papers are organized in topical sections on robotics, networking, biological systems, self-organization, evolutionary computation, and modeling and imaging.
