Call for Participation


Goal: Similarly to the previous editions, the goal is to gather together researchers interested in Membrane Computing (theory and applications), for exchanging ideas, problems, solutions, for working together, in a friendly framework. Only invited talks and short and provocative presentations will be scheduled in the rst days, then the time will be mainly devoted to joint work. Those interested in having such presentations should send an email to Agustín Riscos-Núñez. (ariscosn@us.es) some days before the meeting. The participants are strongly encouraged to circulate open problems and research proposals over the Internet (e.g., posting the problems in the Vienna P systems web page).

Conference Location: Sevilla is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. An explosion of colour and contrast: flamenco, bullfighting, and a lively atmosphere in the streets due to the open and friendly nature of its people. The river Guadalquivir, the Giralda, the Cathedral and the Golden Tower are all places full of magic where the visitor can feel the spirit of a city which is eternally romantic.
