Spatial Evolutionary Dynamics Workshop
Complex Systems Institute, Paris, October 17, 2008
Program
Prof. Paulien Hogeweg, who has published influential papers in spatial evolution and developmental biology, will be our keynote speaker. Eight other speakers will give 30mn presentations about their models and/or views about the field. The workshop will conclude with an important round table discussion aiming to characterize this body of research and its future prospects.
