BioChemIT 2013 - Third COBRA Workshop on Biological and Chemical Information Technologies (BioChemIT2013)

The industrial revolution mechanized production with factories, while the information revolution mechanized information processing with computers. The next large-scale technological revolution most likely involves their integration and decentralization, as found so far only in living systems.
The area of "biological and chemical information technology" encompasses topics such as:
Molecular and chemical computing
Protocells and synthetic cells
Molecular robots
Integration of information processing with (bio-)chemical production
Nano-bio-info interfaces
Cellular engineering and synthetic biology
Artificial neurons
Programmable information chemistry
Unconventional computing substrates
(and associated mathematical and computational studies).
