The growing plant is a fascinating system involving multiple fields. From the biological side it is a multi-cellular system controlled by the complex bio-chemical network. From the physical side, it is an example of an "active solid" – an extended solid system, whose element (cells) are active, performing mechanical work to drive the evolving geometry. From the computational aspect, it acts as a distributed system, processing a multitude of local inputs into a coordinated developmental response. The goal of this meeting is to provide a rare opportunity and bring together these different but complementary views of the plant. Bringing together researchers from various disciplines to study the plant as a living, information-processing organism, which uses physical laws and biological mechanisms to alter its own shape, and negotiate its environment.
