Advances in modern microfluidics are leading to renewed interest in
fluidic mechanisms for coding and computation, aimed at integrating the
logic of control systems with the materials that they manipulate. This
workshop will gather together researchers who are scaling fluidic logic
down in size and up in complexity with prospective users in a wide
range of application areas, to explore this emerging intersection of
physical science and computer science. Along with presenting current
research, the meeting will seek to foster collaborative development of
new capabilities and applications, and help articulate a roadmap for
future work. Attendance is open but requires registration with Susan Murphy-Bottari <susan@cba.mit.edu> 8:00-9:00 Breakfast 9:00-10:30 Introduction
