CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
****************************************************************

** IPCAT2003 **
Fifth International Workshop on
Information Processing in Cells and Tissues

September 8 - 11, 2003

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)
Lausanne, Switzerland
http://lslwww.epfl.ch/ipcat2003

****************************************************************

*** DESCRIPTION ***
The aim of the series of IPCAT workshops is to bring together a
multidisciplinary core of scientists who are working in the
general area of modeling information processing in biosystems.
A general theme is the nature of biological information and the
ways in which it is processed in biological and artificial cells
and tissues. The key motivation is to provide a common ground
for dialogue and interaction, without emphasis on any particular
research constituency, or way of modeling, or single issue in
the relationship between biology and information.
IPCAT2003 will highlight recent research and seek to further the
dialogue, exchange of ideas, and development of interactive
viewpoints between biologists, physicists, computer scientists,
technologists and mathematicians that have been progressively
expanded throughout the IPCAT series of meetings (since 1995).
