CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

CMSB 2016
14th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/cmsb2016 <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/events/cmsb2016>

21st-23rd September 2016 Computer Laboratory
University of Cambridge (UK)

Description

CMSB 2016 solicits original research articles on the analysis of
biological systems, 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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
- formalisms for modelling biological processes
- models and their biological applications
- frameworks for model verification, validation, analysis and simulation
of biological systems
- high-performance Computational Systems Biology and parallel 
implementations
- model inference from experimental data
- model integration from biological databases
- multi-scale modelling and analysis methods
- methods for synthetic biology and biomolecular computing

Papers should be submitted to one of the following categories:
- Regular papers
- Tool papers

Proceedings of CMSB 2016 will be published as a volume in Springer's 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics 
series (LNCS/LNBI).

Publication of a selection of the papers in a special issue of a journal
is under consideration.


Invited Speakers

- Luca Cardelli, Microsoft Research Cambridge / University of Oxford (UK)
- Joelle Despeyroux, INRIA Sophia Antipolis (France)
- Radu Grosu, TU Wien (Austria)
- Jane Hillston, University of Edinburgh (UK)

Call for Papers

Format for regular papers:
Regular papers should describe original work that has not been previously
published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. Papers must
be written in English and must conform the LNCS style. They have to be
submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair. The limit for
submissions is 12 pages. Appendices will not not be counted in the page
limit.

Format and guidelines for tool papers:
Tool papers should present new tools, new tool components or novel
extensions to existing tools supporting the modelling and analysis of
biological systems. Each submission should be original and not published
previously in a tool paper form. Papers must be written in English and
must conform the LNCS style. They have to be submitted electronically as PDF
files via EasyChair. The limit for submissions is 6 pages. Appendices will
not be counted in the page limit. Papers must include information on
methods, tool availability, maturity, selected experimental results.
Authors should make their tools and benchmarks available at the time of
submission for evaluation by the committee. Each submission must be
accompanied by a supplementary PDF file illustrating the usage of the tool
(e.g. screenshots, step-by-step guide, short tutorial) and, if applicable,
how the tool demo will be conducted during the conference presentation.
Presenters of accepted tool papers will be encouraged to include a
showcase/running demo of the tool in their talk.
