\r\n8th workshop on\r\nBiological Distributed Algorithms (BDA)<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

July 29-30, 2021 , Virtual Event.\r\nIn conjunction with PODC 2021<\/a>.<\/h4>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n

BDA is focused on the relationships between distributed computing and\r\ndistributed biological systems and in particular, on analysis and case\r\nstudies that combine the two. Such research can lead to better\r\nunderstanding of the behavior of the biological systems while at the\r\nsame time developing novel algorithms that can be used to solve basic\r\ndistributed computing problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n
