'Applications of membrane computing, concurrency and agent-based modelling in population biology', Jena, Germany
25 August 2011 - 25 August 2011
Germany
A conference entitled 'Applications of membrane computing, concurrency and agent-based modelling in population biology' will be held on 25 August in Jena, Germany.
Modelling has a central role in life sciences since any attempt to understand how a biological or ecological process works requires a model. Management of a biological or ecological system entails being able to predict the likely response of the system to the different actions that could be performed. Predictions can be done only by using a suitable model whose parameters are set in accordance with data obtained by means of observations, explorations and experiments on the biological or ecological process of interest.
The current trend in the study of population dynamics attempts to follow each individual in the population throughout the life cycle. This individual-based approach is often computationally quite expensive, but allows life scientists to explore how the dynamics of a population or of an ecosystem arises from the ways in which individuals interact with each other and with the environment.
The aim of the workshop is to investigate whether formal modelling and analysis techniques could be applied with profit to systems of interest for population biology and ecology. Presentations will look at the latest results and experiences on modelling and analysis of systems of interest for population biology and ecology.For further information, please visit: http://www.di.unipi.it/msvbio/AMCA-POP-2010/doku.php(opens in new window)
