CALL FOR PAPERS

ASIAN CONFERENCE ON MEMBRANE COMPUTING

ACMC 2012 { Wuhan, China, 2012

Goal: Membrane Computing is a branch of Natural Computing inspired from cell structure and functioning,

well developed both at the theoretical level and in what concerns the applications (mainly

in biology and biomedicine, modeling ecosystems, and approximate optimization). Since 2000, each

year an international meeting devoted to membrane computing takes place; up to now, all such conferences

were organized in Europe. In 2012, CMC (Conference on Membrane Computing) is organized

in Budapest, Hungary, from 27 to 31 August. The present meeting, called the Asian Conference on

Membrane Computing, ACMC, is meant to be a regional version of CMC, aiming to bring together

researchers working in membrane computing and related areas, mainly from the Asian region, without

being restricted to this geographical area. A series of tutorial presentations are planned, both in

English and Chinese.
