AIM & SCOPE

CMSB 2013 solicits original research articles on the computational
modeling and analysis of biological systems, pathways, networks,
data, and corresponding application domains. The conference brings
together computer scientists, biologists, mathematicians, engineers,
and physicists interested in a system-level understanding of biological
processes. It covers theory, computation, as well as applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* original paradigms, formalisms, and languages for modeling biological
processes
* original models together with their application domains
* frameworks, techniques, and tools for verifying, validating,
analyzing, and simulating biological systems
* high-performance computational systems biology and parallel
implementations
* inference from high-throughput experimental data
* model integration from biological databases
* multi-scale modeling and analysis methods
* synthetic biology.

Case studies in systems and synthetic biology are especially encouraged.

Submitted papers should describe original work that has not been
previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere.

Proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS/LNBI.

After the conference, a selection of papers will be invited to be
extended and submitted to a special issue of Theoretical Computer
Science.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers must be edited in LATEX using the LNCS format and be submitted
electronically as PDF files via EasyChair. The limit for submissions
is 12 pages.

POSTER TRACK

CMSB 2013 also solicits poster submissions. The abstract of each poster
will get 2 pages in the proceedings. Some selected posters will also be
given slots of short talks at the conference.

We especially encourage poster submission from experimental biologists!
In order to facilitate biologists to attend the conference and present
their work, a limited number of travel stipends for students and
postdocs presenting biology posters will be available.
