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.
