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.
In 1996 two regional workshops will be held in late October:
Abstracts for proposed talks should be sent electronically to:
Full papers (not more than SIX sides) should be submitted electronically by Monday September 30th. The submitted material should be either: Plain text (so no figures) Postscript, or HTML.
Please note that all the submitted materials will be made available via the WWW.
*** Colleagues who are unable to get to workshops are also welcome to submit materials and enter into the electronic dialogue via ipcat email list.
