Uniting theoretical approaches to the biological problem of relating individual behaviour to population dynamics

University of Stirling 5th & 6th January 2004

Scientific Programme | Workshop Arrangements | Application Form | Report | Home page
Many researchers are working on individual based models of biological systems. These models may expressed using differential equations, cellular automata, process algebra, or any of a number of other techniques. The challenge is to take those individual models and extract population-level behaviour for analysis.

The aim of this workshop is to investigate the links between these different approaches with a view to developing new techniques based on a combined approach, perhaps allowing more complex natural and biological problems to be tackled in the future. See the scientific programme for details.

The number of participants will be limited to retain the workshop character and the organisers will aim to retain a balance in the numbers from the different communities and groups. There is no participation fee for the workshop, and limited funds are available for accommodation, but all participants must meet their own travel costs. Applications to attend can be made via the form here and should be submitted by 1 November 2003. The Scientific Organisers will inform applicants of the result of their application mid November 2003.
