Call for Participation

Seventh Brainstorming Week on Membrane Computing (BWMC 2009)

February 2 - 6, 2009, Sevilla, Spain



Goal:
Similarly to previous editions, the goal is to gather together researchers interested in Membrane Computing (theory and applications), in order to exchange ideas, problems, solutions, and work together, in a friendly framework. Short and provocative presentations will be scheduled in the first half of the first days, then time will be mainly devoted to joint work. Those interested in having presentations should inform the organizers some days before the meeting. Of course, open problems, draft solutions, and any kind of ideas to be debated during the meeting can be circulated through the P systems web page - and both participants and non-participants are kindly invited to do this.

February 02, 2009 (Monday) - February 06, 2009 (Friday)

Proceedings:
As usual, at about two months after the meeting a pre-proceedings volume will be published as a research report of RGNC. Then, a selection of final papers will be published in a special issue of a journal (as it was the case with the first sixt editions: Natural Computing and New Generation Computing for BWMC 2003, Journal of Universal Computer Science and Soft Computing for BWMC 2004, International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science for BWMC 2005, Theoretical Computer Science for BWMC 2006, Journal of Unconventional Computing for BWMC 2007, and Fundamenta Informaticae for BWMC 2008).
