"Nature Inspired Computing and Computational Bio-modeling for Biotechnology Applications" 15

Nature Inspired computation is the use of computers to model nature, and simultaneously the study of nature to improve the usage of computers. Biology and Computation have rapidly become one of the multidisciplinary areas for researchers to help in exploring the different computational methods like swarm intelligence and to bio-model their applications. The purpose of this seminar is to familiarize the participants of biological background with current tools and methods in Nature Inspired computing and modeling techniques. This seminar encourages them to use these techniques in modeling data analysis, drug design and genetic engineering. On the other hand, the participants of computer science background may learn about challenging problems in bio-computing they would help to solve and model their applications.
