CARLA 2019 featured two exciting tracks: High Performance Computing (HPC) and BioInspired Processing (BIP).
The second is a new addition to the regular CARLA program and focuses on the synergies between the biological sciences and computer science. These synergies are bidirectional. On one hand, bioinspired computing applies computational paradigms inspired by the biological sciences, such as genetic algorithms, cellular automata and neural networks, to solve a large variety of problems across multiple domains. On the other hand, computer science has been applied successfully and is now considered indispensable for solving many biological problems.
In both cases, the complexity of biological systems often requires HPC to tackle realistic problems where both the amount of data and the number of relationships among data elements can be monumental. The conference program includes keynote and invited talks from academia and industry, full paper and poster sessions presenting mature work and new ideas in research, workshops, tutorials, discussion spaces and more.
