 It is often observed in biological systems that numerous components behaving apparently randomly at one level are organized into an ordered event at a higher level of the immediate next. The interplay between randomness-stochasticity and organization is a crucial element of life and a hallmark of biocomplexity. In this symposium, we will discuss the mechanisms, meanings and effects of stochastic events in biological systems with a very broad view in all senses to promote novel directions that may not have been stressed yet. Such discussions will encourage the biologists of the next generation enterprising enough to pursue novel and seminal directions as well as the mathematicians, information scientists, physicists and chemists who wish to explore novel directions in biology.
The scientific program of the symposium will consist of two opening lectures, plenary lectures by invited speakers, and poster presentations. The number of the participants will be limited 80 at the maximum, in order to encourage intensive discussions and establishing personal relationships, which may lead to future collaborations among the participants.
