All papers have been peer-reviewed. The Conference was a program of invited lectures and selected contributed papers of interest to academic communities, educators and students both at graduate and undergraduate levels. Topics are centered on information processing and coding in the brain and in neuronal systems, on quantitative approaches to ecology and population dynamics, and on bioinformatics. Some talks also focus on current problems in various other areas of applications of mathematics and computational tools to the life sciences.
