*** Abstract Submission: 28 April, 2013
*** Paper Submission: 04 May, 2013 (firm!)

The 7th Workshop on Membrane Computing and Biologically Inspired Process
Calculi (MeCBIC 2013) will take place in Riga on 7th July 2013 as a
related event of ICALP 2013, the 40th International Colloquium on
Automata, Languages and Programming. (http://www.icalp2013.lu.lv/)

If your work is related to MeCBIC topics, it is now a good opportunity to
submit a paper (of about 16 pages), using the web page
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mecbic2013.

The modeling and the analysis of biological systems has attracted the
interest of several research communities. The main aim of the workshop is
to bring together researchers in concurrency theory, formal methods, and
related fields that are interested to present recent results and to
discuss new ideas concerning such formalisms, their properties and
relationships. We welcome contributions that address both theoretical and
applied contributions related to the relevance and potential of formal
methods in biology. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

- Biologically inspired models and calculi (rewrite systems, process
calculi, Petri nets, etc.);
- Theoretical links and comparison of different biological inspired formal
models;
- Qualitative biological modeling;
- Quantitative formal methods;
- Modelling, analysis and simulation tools for biologically inspired systems.

Invited Speaker:
Ovidiu Radulescu, University of Montpellier 2
Life made simple : model reduction as a tool for computational biology

The workshop proceedings will be published in the Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science. After the event, papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to be furtherly extended and submitted to a
special issue of a visible journal (indexed by DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of
Science, etc)
