workshop : Biology and Game Theory,
November 4, 5, 6, 2010
Paris, UPMC
The purpose is both:
1) to present advances in game theory that could lead to new applications to biological modeling and enhance our understanding of biological interactions,
2) to review game theoretic models in biology that could lead to the introduction and development of new mathematical approaches and techniques.
The aim of the meeting is to gather a small group of experts and allow for in-depth discussions of these topics.
