Seventh Brainstorming Week on
Membrane Computing
Sevilla, Spain
February 2 - February 6, 2009
(BWMC 2009)
Call for participation


  • Goal:
    Similarly to the previous editions, the goal is to gather together researchers interested in membrane computing (theory and applications), for exchanging ideas, problems, solutions, for working together, in a friendly framework. Only short and provocative presentations will be scheduled in the first days, then the time will be mainly devoted to joint work. Those interested in having such presentations should inform the organizers some days before the meeting. The participants are strongly encouraged to circulate open problems and research proposals by internet (e.g., posting the problems in the Vienna P page)
  • Dates:
    February 2, 2009 (Monday) - February 6, 2009 (Friday)
  • Organizing institution:
    Research Group on Natural Computing (RGNC)
    Department of Computer Science and AI
    Sevilla University, Spain

  • Place:
    Building H, first floor, of ETS Ingenieria Informatica, Avda Reina Mercedes s/n

  • 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).
  • Other relevant details:
    No registration fee will be requested, but the participants have to cover all costs related to their participation. Several accommodation options will exist (including cheap student hostels), while the lunch can be organized in the university cafeteria, for less than 5 euro per lunch.
