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

15th Mini-EURO Conference
Theme: "Managing Uncertainty in Decision Support Models (MUDSM 2004)"
Where: Coimbra - Portugal
When: 22-24 September 2004
Formatting instructions for paper submissions are available at the Web page
www.inescc.pt/mudsm2004
Sponsoring institutions: EURO (The Association of European Operational
Research Societies), APDIO (Portuguese OR Society), Faculty of Economics at
the University of Coimbra, INESC Coimbra
Scope and objectives
Mini EURO Conferences are conferences allowing specialists of a particular
promising OR theme of research to participate in a meeting where the
screening of papers can be more effective and participation in the debates
can be more lively than at larger meetings.
The 15th Mini EURO Conference is aimed at providing an open forum in which
researchers coming from different scientific disciplines and operational
research areas can discuss and share their experience regarding
methodological approaches to tackle, in an explicit manner, uncertainty and
imprecision stemming from distinct sources, which have influence on
obtaining robust conclusions in decision support models with application to
several areas.
Particular attention will be paid to multicriteria evaluation models in
which distinct types of difficulties are associated with achieving robust
conclusions: the intrinsic incomplete nature of models, the imprecision
associated with input data, and the uncertainty associated with the
analytical representation of the structure of the decision maker's
preferences.
Contributions from decision theory, fuzzy sets, rough sets, risk analysis,
stochastic programming, sensitivity analysis, robustness analysis, interval
programming, inexact programming, etc. are expected both from methodological
and application perspectives, thus paving the way for a cross-fertilization
between distinct ways to incorporate uncertainty, imprecision and risk in
decision support models.

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

> "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.
