WCSB 2008

The Fifth International Workshop on Computational Systems Biology WCSB 2008 will be held on June 11-13, 2008, in Leipzig, Germany.

WCSB aims at bringing together the various scientific communities involved in the different aspects of computational systems biology research, e.g. from (but not limited to) experimental biology, machine learning, signal processing, statistics and theoretical physics. The scientific program includes invited plenary talks as well as regular sessions with contributed research talks and posters.

Keynote speakers
  Prof. Hidde de Jong (INRIA Rhone-Alpes, Grenoble, France)
  Prof. Stuart Kauffman (Institute for Biocomplexity and Informatics, University of Calgary, Canada)
  Prof. Stéphane Robin (AgroParisTech, Paris, France)
  Prof. Darren Wilkinson (School of Mathematics and Statistics, Newcastle University, UK)

Paper submission Prospective authors are first asked to submit a title and abstract (max. 120 words) of their research. Based on the abstracts, the scientific committee will then decide which abstracts will be extended as four page papers in the proceedings. The extended abstracts of no more than four (4) pages, including results, figures and references, will then be further refereed for minor corrections.
