INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
MATHEMATICAL & COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY:
COMPUTATIONAL MORPHOGENESIS, HIERARCHICAL COMPLEXITY & DIGITAL
EVOLUTION
UNIVERSITY OF AIZU, JAPAN --- OCTOBER 21-25, 1997
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
This interdisciplinary international workshop will bring together
researchers working on aspects of evolutionary, mathematical and
computational biology that are of particular interest (1) for computer
scientists, both as sources of ideas (via emulation of nature's
solutions)
for software systems and as areas of application (bioinformatics), (2)
for
biologists looking for mathematical and computational methods to address
difficult questions of evolution such as individuality, multicellularity,
replication, and morphogenesis, and (3) for mathematicians who strive to
develop the theoretical tools for asking (and possibly answering!) such
questions rigorously.
Major transitions in evolution of living systems are now understood to
have
been brought about by changes in (1) hierarchical structuring, resulting
in
new units of evolution, and (2) in the way information is organized,
manipulated, and interpreted.
Deeper insights in the origin of metazoan life rely on a viewpoint in
which
mathematical and computational models elucidate synthesis of hierarchical
structure while coping with the tendency of lower levels to evolve
out-of-control (as happens in cancer but also in large software systems).
Of
special concern are the evolution of individuality, symbiogenesis,
evolutionary developmental biology, computational morphogenesis and
origins
of the digital genetic code. Although approaches to the nature, study and
emulation of life through mathematical representation and digital media
in
synthetic worlds have progressed rapidly in the last decade, the
development
of mathematical frameworks for addressing these issues still remains
largely
a future prospect that this workshop wishes to address.
This complexity of hierarchical systems can be treated using methods from
the algebraic theory of automata. Models of how such higher levels of
complexity arise in nature will have implications for the future of
complex
information systems as well as for the understanding of biological
systems.
Self-replicating and self-maintaining systems are providing models for
advances in computational sciences, while foundations of computer
sciences
are exerting a new influence in biology. In particular the notion of a
constructive dynamical system in which objects interact to produce other
objects appears to be a necessary ingredient in an adequate mathematical
treatment of living systems whereas differential models that rely on
abstracted, measured quantities have largely failed to capture many of of
the essential properties of life
This workshop provides a forum in which researchers in these fields can
discuss and develop the ideas relating biology, symbiogenesis,
autopoiesis,
self-reproducing and self-maintaining systems, `artificial life', digital
evolution, computational morphogenesis, biological cybernetics, animation
using digitally evolved actors, robotics, embodied agents, mathematical
models ini ecology and population genetics, with foundations of
theoretical
computer science including concurrency, parallelism, lambda-calculus,
semigroups, constructors, formal languages, automata, as well as future
applications to hierarchical software systems and synthetic worlds. Also
treated will be methods, models and applications of digital evolution.
