INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION PROCESSING IN CELLS AND TISSUES
			 
		Liverpool 6th - 8th September 1995


The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a multidisciplinary group 
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. We hope that 
the workshop will draw together researchers from a range of disciplines
including: Computer Science, Cell Biology, Mathematics,
Physiology, Biophysics, Experimental Medicine,
Biochemistry, Electronic Engineering and Biotechnology.
The workshop is intended to provide a forum to report research, discuss 
emerging topixcs and gain new insights into information processing 
in biological and computational systems.

Subjects areas are likely to include but not be restricted to:

* Cellular information processing systems
* Enzyme networks, Gene networks, Metabolic channeling 
* Second mesenger systems
* Signal Transduction and Cellular Pattern Recognition 
* Automata models 
* Parallel Distributed Processing models 
* Cellular Automata models 
* Single Neuron Computation  
* Biomolecular computing
* Inter-cellular communication, Multi-cellularity
* Information Processing in Developmental Systems 
* Information Processing in Immune networks
* Endocrine-immune-nervous interactions
* Information processing in neural tissue systems
* Information processing in non-neural tissue systems
* Communication and gap-junctions
* Asynchronous processing, MIMD, SIMD and NIMD systems
* Cell and tissues oscillators
* Fractals and Chaos 
* Emergent phenomena and self-organisation
