        International Symposium  and Young Scientists School

           Mathematical Modelling and Information Systems
                 in Biology, Ecology and Medicine

                Sofia, Bulgaria, August 23-27, 1995



Organized by: Bulgarian Academy of Science, Institute of Biophysics,
              Center for Informatics and Computer Technology;
              Institute for Informatics, University of Basel;
              Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians;
              Union for Automatics and Informatics;
              IMACS/BG, The Biomathematical Society.

Co-sponsored by IMACS.

BIOMAT-95 is an interdisciplinary meeting of biologists and mathematicians
concerned with biomathematical sciences, such as biomathematics,
bioinformatics, biostatistics, biomechanics, bioautomatics and mathematical
problems from biophysics, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering etc.
The meeting will be focused on:

- mathematical modelling in biology, ecology, physiology, pharmacology and
  medicine; biorheology; drug statistics; population statistics;

- information systems, knowledge based systems, knowledge engineering and
  intelligent data processing, program packages and problem solving
  environments supporting biological and medical applications;

- mathematical immunology, math.  neurophysiology, math.  ecology, math.
  population dynamics, math.  epidemiology, enzyme kinetics, evolution,
  biological waves and oscillators, nerve and synaptic transmission etc.;

- mathematical models, involving uncertain (set-valued, interval-valued, fuzzy
  set-valued etc.) input data, validated numerics, enclosure methods involving
  automatic result verification and the use of parallel architectures
  (especially for solving typical biomathematical problems); sensitivity
  analysis of dynamic systems, non-linear dynamics and chaos; particular
  modelling situations and case studies underlying the above aspects.

BIOMAT-95 will be of interest to applied mathematicians, statisticians,
  ecologists, biologists and medical scientists.  It will provide a forum for
  presentation of latest research and scientific developments; demonstration
  of related software; reporting of case studies in industrial, medical and
  scientific applications; discussion of future perspectives of
  biomathematical sciences.
