Immediately following GECCO-2007, the 2007 UNCONVENTIONAL COMPUTING conference will be held in Bristol.  The conference is sponsored by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.  According to the organizers the unconventional computing

is the quest for groundbreaking new algorithms and physical implementations of novel and ultimately — compared to classical approaches — more powerful computing paradigms and machines. This event will bring together work that focuses on non-traditional theoretical constructions, experimental prototypes, and genuine implementations of non-classical computing devices. A further goal is to revisit existing approaches in unconventional computing, to provide scientists and engineers with blueprints of realisable computing devices, and to take a critical glance at the design of novel and emergent computing systems to point out failures and shortcomings of both theoretical and experimental approaches.
