novel systems challenges because of resource constraints, uncertainty,
irregularity, and scale. SenSys design issues span multiple
disciplines, including wireless communication, networking, operating
systems, architecture, low-power circuits, distributed algorithms, data
processing, scheduling, sensors, energy harvesting, and signal
processing. SenSys seeks to provide a cross-disciplinary venue for
researchers addressing these networked sensor system design issues.
SenSys 2004 is the second in a series of annual meetings with a highly
selective single-track technical program and a hands-on research
exhibition.

Dear all,
the Networking 2004 confernce programme is found via
<http://www.ece.ntua.gr/networking2004/>.
It says that the programme will be held from May 11-13 (i.e. Tue-Thu).
The WG 6.3. workshop (planned for May 14 in the morning) has been
cancelled. Thus we might start our meeting already in the morning of May 14
(and end earlier than proposed on May 15).
Please tell me if that would be a big problem for you.
I'm sorry that the calendar of events contained
- the cancelled WG 6.3 workshop
- the old dates of our meeting (May 15+16 instead as of May 14+15).
I attach the corrected version once more - it is so easy and so cheap
to do that.... apart from the negative impact of information overload.
Best regards
Otto
Dear all,
who is interested in a planned TC6/TC10 workshop?
See below.
It should be a one day event during PACT 2004 (Parallel Architecture
and Compilation Techniques). PACT is held in Antibes (France) from
Sept. 29 until oct. 3, 2004.
Please tell me whether you would like to be a member of the programme
committee,
whether you have ideas for invited spearkers, for specific topics etc.
Best regards
Otto

Dear all,
I couldn't attend the IFIP council meeting due to other commitments
but Ramon Puigjaner was there.
Please find below his email which points to an important topic which was
treated at the council.
We will have to position ourselves with respect to a participation
at the World Computer Congress which is planned to be held
in Jerusalem in 2006 (or maybe in Eilat; there have also been some
other "ideas" to relocate it to Geneva under guidance of Israel but for the
moment being the intended venue is still Jerusalem).
I would like to have your position concerning a possible TC6 participation
(in the last decade - at least - we were never particularly active
at WCC's since we considered them more or less as dinosaurs with
limited interest).
Please tell me **before the end of March** what you think about this
particular case, namely Jerusalem 2006.
Please understand that - being a citizen of Germany - I will not
give some indication about whether to put the case in one or the
other direction. I will only communicate the result of your
contributions to Moshe Gotlieb and of course to you.
Best regards
Otto

Mesage from Ramon Puigjaner
>The meeting of the IFIP Council was boring,as usual.
>I will send you the stuff distributed in Cape Town. However, there is a
>point that requires urgent treatement:
>- In the TA all the TC gave there intention of participating in some way
>at the WCC 2006 to be held in Jerusalem; I gave the traditional position
>of TC6, that is quite reluctant to participate even though some this
>year WG6.11 is participating in one of the parallel sessions. The
>conclusion was that all the TCs should send to Moshe Gotlieb before mid
>April their position concerning the particpation with some colocated
>conference in WCC 2006.
>I suggest that you send a message to all the TC6 members and organise an
>email discussion.
>In few days I will send you a more detailed report concerning the
>positions I defended in Cape Town.
>Best regards

Deadline extension for CMSB'04 - Computational Methods in Systems Biology.
Due to several requests, the deadline of CMSB'04 has been moved to
* March 10th*.
Please check the web page for more details:

Call for Papers - International Workshop on Computational Methods in Systems
Biology 2004 (CMSB04) Organized by Genoscope, Evry Génopole, Evry CNRS
University of Paris VII BioPathways Consortium
Hotel Meridien Montparnasse, Paris, France
26-28 May, 2004
**********************************************************
The CMSB (Computational Methods in Systems Biology) conference series was
established in 2003 to help catalyze the convergence between modellers
physicists, mathematicians, and theoretical computer scientists from fields
such as language design, concurrency theory or program verification and
biologists interested in a systems-level understanding of cellular
processes.
In order to reflect the complementary scientific motivations underlying
existing work in the field, CMSB04 is soliciting original research articles
(including significant works-in-progress) and surveys of current research in
either of the following two thematic tracks :
Track A : Formal models for biological systems analysis
This track focuses on theoretical or applied contributions that are
motivated by a biological question and can demonstrate either actual or
potential usefulness towards answering that question.
Topics of interest in this track include :
- Formal models for regulatory, signalling or metabolic networks
- Formal methods to analyse biomolecular systems
- Qualitative or quantitative analyses of biomolecular systems
- Simulation techniques for Systems Biology
- Theoretical comparisons between different formal models of cellular
processes
- Applications of formal techniques to reverse-engineering of biological
networks
- Methods to predict biological network behavior from incomplete information
- Detailed case-studies on how a biological question was successfully
addressed using formal models
Note that, since many formal languages are expressive enough to allow for
some representation of biological networks, describing a representation of,
e.g., signalling networks at a given level of detail in a given language and
advocating the use of that language does not necessarily constitute in
itself a novel contribution to the field. The introduction of a formal model
should be supported by theoretical arguments on the model and/or on the
analyses that it enables, by comparisons with other network models, and/or
by examples of representation and analysis of a biological system.
Track B : Models of computation inspired by biological processes
This track focuses on contributions that take inspiration from cellular
processes to lay down the plans for new computing techniques and paradigms,
to study their theoretical properties and applications. Similar motivations
led to the definition of neural networks and genetic algorithms, which were
neither motivated by biological research nor faithful models of biological
systems, but gave birth to a huge field for non-standard programming
solutions. The motivation of this track is computational rather than
biological.
Topics of interest in this track include :
- Definition and study of theoretical properties of biologically-inspired
formal languages
- Biologically-inspired extensions to concurrency theory, constraint
programming or logical methods
- Biologically-inspired equivalences
- Quantitative formal languages
- Models of Self-assembly
- Models including symbolic evolution and learning
- ODE as a programming language
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors are invited to submit original research papers or survey papers of
no more than 12 pages in .ps or .pdf format.
All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers
will be included in the proceedings, which will be published by Springer in
the new Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics Series.
We also accept poster proposals in the form of a text-only abstract
describing the poster contents.
Papers and posters should be submitted online via the submission page on the
CMSB04 web site (http://www.biopathways.org/CMSB04/).
Papers should be formatted according to LNCS guidelines
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
