First Call for Papers
BioPPN 2012
3rd International Workshop on Biological Processes and Petri Nets
Hamburg, Germany, June 25, 2012
co-located with Petri Nets 2012 & ACSD 2012
http://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/BME/BioPPN2012
================================================================
*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
submission of papers: 1 April 2012
Notification: 1 May 2012
Final version due: 1 June 2012
Workshop: 25 June 2012
*** TOPICS ***
The goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for researchers
aiming at fundamental research and real life applications of Petri
nets in Systems and Synthetic Biology.
Systems and Synthetic Biology are full of challenges and open issues,
with adequate modelling and analysis techniques being one of them.
Petri nets offer a family of related models, which can be used as a
kind of umbrella formalism — models may share the network structure,
but vary in their kinetic details (quantitative information). This
clearly contributes to bridging the gap between different formalisms,
and helps to unify diversity.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* standard Petri nets for qualitative modelling and analysis,
if kinetics are unknown or deliberately abstracted away;
* discrete quantitative modelling by time(d) Petri nets;
* stochastic Petri nets to account for intrinsic noise of
molecular fluctuation, and/or sources of extrinsic noise;
* continuous Petri nets (and thus Ordinary Differential Equations),
back and forth;
* hybrid Petri nets, or how to handle
different abstraction and time scales in biological processes;
* dedicated support of multi-scale issues;
* case studies of metabolic, signalling, regulatory, and
combined networks, or other biological applications;
* dedicated analysis and simulation techniques;
* related tool debvelopment, including
exchange formats, dedicated to biological processes;
Case studies in systems and synthetic biology demonstrating the
specific power by the combined use of different Petri net classes
are especially encouraged.
*** PAPER SUBMISSION ***
Submitted papers should describe original work that has not been
previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere.
There are three categories of papers:
- Regular papers should not exceed 15 p. in LNCS format.
- "work in progress" papers, which have to be indicated as such.
- Short papers presenting original results should not exceed 6 page;
they can be selected for oral presentation.
All papers should be in LNCS format, and will have to be submitted via
EasyChair.
*** Workshop Proceedings ***
will be published electronically as CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
This does not lead to a transfer of copyright to a publisher.
*** Special Issue ***
Best papers will be proposed to be invited for a follow-up publication
in Transactions on Petri Nets and other models of Concurrency (ToPNoC).
