UNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS -
IPCAT '99</center>

<center>THIRD INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION </center>

<center>PROCESSING IN CELLS AND TISSUES</center>

<center>Monday August 23 - Thursday August 26 1999</center>

<center>INDIANAPOLIS, USA</center>

<flushboth>PURPOSE OF IPCAT WORKSHOPS</flushboth>

<flushboth></bold>The purpose of the IPCAT workshop series is to bring tog=
ether
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. </flushboth>

<flushboth>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. </flushboth>
