****Submission deadline extended until April 23****


Description

VEMDP 2018 is a one-day workshop that aims to promote discussion and
collaboration at the intersection between formal methods and biology.
While the workshop prioritises contributions on the formal modelling and
analysis of engineered biosystems, we also encourage submissions where
either formal verification is applied to natural biosystems, or
techniques complementary to formal methods are used for the study of
engineered biosystems, including but not limited to:
- DNA computing, DNA robotics, and other forms of natural information
processing, sensing, and actuation,
- (stochastic) chemical reaction networks,
- engineered transcription networks and other synthetic biology
applications.

Relevant modelling and analysis techniques include:
- automated verification,
- formal languages and methods,
- computer-aided design tools (e.g. automated synthesis),
- equivalence and abstraction of systems,
- static analysis,
- constraints modelling,
- other analysis methods (optimisation, dynamical systems, topology, etc)


Invited Speakers

- Sara-Jane Dunn, Microsoft Research
- Andrew J. Turberfield, University of Oxford


Format

VEMDP 2018 will accept contributions describing novel, in-progress or
previously published work. Authors must indicate which of these three
categories applies to their submission. We will accept two kinds of
contributions:
- extended abstracts for oral presentation (3 pages limit, LNCS style),
- abstracts for poster presentation (1 page limit, LNCS style).

We are currently working towards securing an open special issue in a
high-quality journal.

Important Dates
- Abstract submission: April 23, 2018 (extended)
- Notification: May 15, 2018
- Camera-ready: May 31, 2018
