================================================================




AIM:

As in its previous editions, the workshop aims at gathering researchers with
special interest at the convergence of life and computer science, with
particular
focus on the application of techniques and tools from concurrency.
We solicit the submission of unpublished results reporting on both modelling,
analysis, and validation of biological behaviours using concurrency-inspired
methods and platforms, and on bio-inspired models and tools for describing
distributed interactions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: applications of techniques
from rewriting logics, process calculi, Petri Nets, graph grammars, hybrid
systems,
and model checking to the representation and testing of scenarios from life
sciences.
	
	



IMPORTANT DATES:

SUBMISSION:
	
We solicit the submission of unpublished papers reporting on original research
on the topics of interest to FBTC.
Authors will have to submit their papers via EasyChair (https://www.easychair.
org/login.cgi?conf=fbtc2010).
Papers should take the form of a pdf file in 
EPTCS style (http://www.eptcs.org/),
and should not exceed 15 pages.
If necessary, detailed proofs or other additional material can be added in a
clearly-labelled section "Applendix for referees".
Referees might review it at their discretion.

	


PUBLICATION:	

The proceedings will be a volume of the open-access journal EPTCS.
A soft-copy of the proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.
Full versions of selected papers may later on be invited for an archival
journal special issue dedicated to FBTC 2010.
