******* CONFERENCE PROGRAM ********
The CMSB (Computational Methods in Systems Biology) conference series was established in 2003 to help catalyze the convergence between modellers (computer scientists from fields such as language design, concurrency theory or program verification, as well as physicists and mathematicians) and biologists interested in a systems-level understanding of cellular processes.
Among the conference topics: - Formal models for regulatory, signalling or metabolic networks - Formal methods for the analysis of biomolecular systems - Qualitative or quantitative analyses of biomolecular systems - Theoretical comparisons between different formal models of cellular processes - Applications of formal techniques to the reverse-engineering of biological networks - Detailed case-studies on how a biological question was successfully addressed using formal models - Definition and study of theoretical properties of biologically-inspired formal languages
**In addition to long and short presentations of peer-reviewed work, the workshop will be an opportunity for in-depth discussions on the general issue of the use of formal languages to describe and analyze cellular processes.**
A preliminary program is now available on the website at : http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/biopathways/CMSB04/program.php
************* VENUE AND ACCOMMODATION *************
The workshop will take place in the heart of Montparnasse, on the left bank of Paris, at the end of May...
Conference attendees are responsible for booking their own accommodation. A block of rooms has been reserved at the conference venue (Hotel Meridien) at a discounted price. A selection of alternative hotels is available on the conference website.
