FBTC 2007

In computational theory, several formal approaches make use of biology as inspiration for the development of problem solving techniques — artificial immune systems, cellular automata, genetic algorithms, membrane computing, neural networks, swarm intelligence — and most of them are taken from complex, inherently concurrent systems. On the other hand, concurrency has itself begun to inspire an emerging research area in biology: concurrency is found at the molecular level as well as at those of cells, organs, individuals, communities and ecological systems. FBTC brings the two directions together.
