Description:
The progress of research in many areas of biology has accelerated through the use of scientific
computation for the analysis, simulation and forecasting of complex biological systems. In many of these areas,
cost and validity of the computations themselves has become a limiting factor on progress. Experience has
shown that improvements in numerical algorithms are often more effective than massive expenditures on raw
computing power. This workshop will bring together computational biologists and numerical analysts, to explore
better numerical algorithms for problems in such areas as dynamical disease, epidemiology, neural networks,
ecology, cell biology and physiological models.
