FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS - IPCAT '99 THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION PROCESSING IN CELLS AND TISSUES Monday August 23 - Thursday August 26 1999 INDIANAPOLIS, USA
PURPOSE OF IPCAT WORKSHOPS The purpose of the IPCAT workshop series is to bring together multidisciplinary groups of scientists working in the general area of modelling cells and tissues. A central theme will be the nature of biological information and the ways it is processed in cells and tissues. The workshop is intended to provide a forum to report research, discuss emerging topics and gain new insights into information processing systems, enzyme and gene networks, second messenger systems and signal transduction, automata models, PDP models, cellular automata models, single neuron computation, information processing in developmental systems, information processing in neural and non neural systems and new insights into non linear aspects of physiological behaviour.
A key motivation is to provide a common ground for dialogue and reporting research without emphasising one particular research constituency or way of modelling or singular issue in this area. IPCAT '99 will seek to further the meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas started at IPCAT '95 and IPCAT '97 between biologists, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians.
SUBMISSION DETAILS Papers should be 1.5 spaced in 12 point Times font. Maximum length of papers should be 12 pages. [Note: shorter contributions are also welcome]. 4 copies of papers should be submitted to:
