Deadline extension for CMSB'04
by Vincent Schachter 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

(Apologies for cross postings) 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: http://www.biopathways.org/CMSB04/ 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).

ACM new international proceedings series
by Guy Leduc 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

Dear all, ACM has started a new international proceedings series. See http://www.acm.org/pubs/icp_series.html IMHO this is a very nice publication channel, much more attractive for conferences than the more costly and less visible IFIP's "new Springer" (KAP, Springer) channel possibly coupled with an IFIP Digital Library. Best regards, Guy >From: owner-ifip_tcchairs(a)ifip.or.at >[mailto:owner-ifip_tcchairs@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Klaus Brunnstein >Sent: terça-feira, 23 de Dezembro de 2003 13:22 >To: IFIP-TC-Chairs (IFIP TC Chairs) >Cc: Klaus Brunnstein >Subject: [IFIP TC chairs] IFIP issues and Seasons Greetings > >Dear TC chairs, > > Publications: following the very good preparation, we received > 6 applications including 2 separate ones from the future > "new Springer" formed from Kluwer and Springer. Following > an evaluation process for which I wish to esp. thank Basie > and Dewald who both invested much energy and intelligence, > we have selected new Springer (KAP, Springer) and Wiley > for indepth discussions. For the new contract, our strategic > goals are: > IFIP publications as IFIP book series, > built upon 250+ IFIP books > technical quality of publications > electronic distribution of material > towards an IFIP Digital Library > marketing IFIP as brand name > AND sufficient income from royalties. > > With Basie and Prince as advisors, I have aksed Roger and Leon > (representing TC chairs) to join me in contract discussions > primarily with "new Springer". Our goal is to have a draft > agreement ready for discussion in Council-2004. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Prof. Guy Leduc Tel : +32 4 366 26 98 Université de Liège Secr : +32 4 366 26 91 Réseaux Informatiques Fax : +32 4 366 29 89 Research Unit in Networking (RUN) Guy.Leduc(a)ulg.ac.be EECS Department, Institut Montefiore, B 28, B-4000 LIEGE 1, BELGIUM http://www.run.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/People/GuyLeduc/
