<div>FMMB 2014 - 1st INTL. CONFERENCE ON FORMAL METHODS IN MACRO-BIOLOGY</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Call for Papers</div>
<div> September 22-24, 2014</div>
<div> Noumea, New Caledonia</div>
<div> <a href="http://fmmb2014.sciencesconf.org/">http://fmmb2014.sciencesconf.org/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* AIMS AND SCOPE</div>
<div> The purpose of FMMB is to bring together researchers, developers,</div>
<div> and students in theoretical computer science, applied mathematics,</div>
<div> mathematical and computational biology, interested in studying the</div>
<div> application of formal methods to the construction and analysis of</div>
<div> models describing biological processes at both micro and macro levels.</div>
<div> The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):</div>
<div> - representation and analysis of biological systems in formal systems</div>
<div> such as:</div>
<div> o ordinary and partial differential equation systems,</div>
<div> o discrete event systems, infinite state systems,</div>
<div> o hybrid discrete-continuous systems, hybrid automata,</div>
<div> o cellular automata, multi-agent systems,</div>
<div> o stochastic processes, stochastic games,</div>
<div> o statistical physics models,</div>
<div> o process algebras, process calculi,</div>
<div> o rewriting systems, graph grammars,</div>
<div> - coupling models and data, inference of models from data,</div>
<div> - computability and complexity issues,</div>
<div> - modelling and analysis tools, case studies.</div>
<div> Application areas particularly solicited include:</div>
<div> - environmental biology, ecology, marine science,</div>
<div> - agriculture and forestry,</div>
<div> - developmental biology, population biology,</div>
<div> - epidemiology, medicine,</div>
<div> - systems biology, synthetic biology.</div>
