CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL
METHODS IN SYSTEMS BIOLOGY 18 and 19 October 2006 The Microsoft Research -
University of Trento Centre for Computational
and Systems Biology TRENTO - ITALY http://www.msr-unitn.unitn.it/events/cmsb06.php The CMSB (Computational
Methods in
Systems Biology) conference series was established in 2003 to help
catalyze the
convergence of modellers, physicists, mathematicians, and theoretical
computer
scientists from fields such as language design, concurrency theory,
program
verification, and molecular biologists, physicians, neuroscientists
interested
in a systems-level understanding of cellular physiology and pathology. CMSB'06 solicits original
research articles (including
significant works-in-progress), surveys of current research and
posters. These
may cover theoretical or applied contributions that are motivated by a
biological question and can demonstrate either actual or potential
usefulness
towards answering that question. They may also cover models of
computation
inspired by biological processes; the motivation may be as much
computational
as biological. Particularly relevant case studies and open issues from
the
biological side that demands modeling of systems are of interest as
well. The
introduction of formal models should be supported by theoretical
arguments
about the model and/or on the analyses that they enable, by comparisons
with
other network models, and/or by examples of representation and analysis
of a
biological system. Topics
of interest include: 1. Biological systems
and networks: inference, properties,
modeling, dynamics, simulation and reverse engineering 2. Formal methods for
drug discovery and design 3. Methods to predict
biological network behavior from
incomplete information 4. Models including
symbolic evolution and learning 5. Models of
Self-assembly 6. Detailed case-studies
on how a biological question was
successfully addressed using formal models 7. Emergence of
properties in complex biological systems 8. Theoretical
comparisons between different formal models
of cellular processes 9. Differential,
discrete and/or stochastic
modeling-language frameworks 10. Quantitative formal
languages 11. Biologically-inspired
extensions to concurrency theory,
constraint programming, logical methods or language equivalences 12. Computer models in
nano-sciences applied to biological
domains 13. Definition and study
of theoretical properties of
biologically-inspired formal languages 14. Biological data bases
and exchange formats for
biological data and standards History 2003 held in Trento,
chaired by 2004 held in Paris,
co-chaired by Vincent Danos and Vincent
Schachter 2005 held in Edinburgh,
chaired by Gordon Plotkin. Paper
and poster submission guidelines Authors are invited to
submit original research papers or
survey papers of no more than 15 pages in .pdf format using the LNCS
templates,
available at the url below http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html We also accept poster
proposals in
the form of a text-only abstract describing the poster contents. Papers and posters
descriptions
should be sent by e-mail to The subject line should
be CMSB Paper: (Title of Paper). The body of the e-mail
should contain the title, authors and
affiliations, an abstract, and the themes to which the paper/poster
refers
according to the topics of interest list. If no theme is listed, please
insert
some keywords. All submissions will be
reviewed by
the program committee. Accepted papers will be
included in
the proceedings available at the conference. Publication as an LNBI
volume by
Springer is under negotiation. Important
