MeCBIC 2009
The 3rd Workshop on Membrane Computing and
Biologically Inspired Process Calculi
- An Affiliated Workshop of CONCUR 2009 -
5th September 2009, Bologna, Italy
http://www.info.uaic.ro/~mecbic
The main aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in
membrane computing, in biologically inspired process calculi (ambients, brane
calculi, etc.) and in other related fields to present recent results and to
discuss new ideas concerning such formalisms, their properties and
relationships (similarities, differences,...).
Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) on the
membrane systems or biologically inspired process calculi are sought. Papers on
the relationship between membrane systems and biologically inspired process
calculi are particularly welcome. Related formal approaches in which cell
compartments play an important role are also within the scope of the workshop.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Biologically inspired models and calculi
* Biologically inspired systems and their applications
* Analysis of properties of biologically inspired models and languages
* Theoretical links and comparison between different models/systems

Past Events: The first edition of MeCBIC was held in Venice in 2006 (co-located
with ICALP 2006). One of the organizers of the first MeCBIC was Nadia Busi. The
second MeCBIC was held in Iasi in 2008. The previous proceedings of the MeCBIC
workshops have been published in the Elsevier ENTCS series (vol.171 and vol.227).
Please note that the 3rd MeCBIC will be held exactly 2 years after the tragic
death of Nadia Busi who worked at the University of Bologna for many years...
