FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second International Conference on
Systems Biology (ICSB2001)
Nov 5 - 7, 2001
California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
http://www.systems-biology.org
[OVERVIEW]
==========
The need for systems-level understanding of biological processes is
receiving increased recognition. Advances in Systems Biology will
have a major impact on all areas of biology in the 21st Century. The
Second International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB2001) will
bring together researchers working in Systems Biology and related
areas to present the current status of their research and to discuss
future directions for the field.
Following the success of the first conference (ICSB2000) in Tokyo on
November 14-16, 2000, ICSB2001 will be held at the California
Institute of Technology with a series of affiliated workshops and
tutorials.
The conference will feature original, refereed papers, software
demonstrations, posters, and introductory and advanced
tutorials. Papers will be published in an archival proceeding, and
the proceedings will be provided to participants as a bound volume at
the conference. The detailed schedule of the conference will be
announced shortly at the website http://www.systems-biology.org.
[TOPICS]
========
Topics include (but are not limited to):
* Methodologies for systems-level understanding of living organisms
* Tools and technologies for Systems Biology (software,
high-throughput assay, high precision, quantitative measurement,etc.)
* Systems-level analysis of biological systems (such as control theory
analysis, bifurcation analysis, etc.)
* Reverse engineering of gene regulatory and metabolic networks from
data
* Prediction of genes and metabolic pathways based on systems-level
analysis
* Large-scale databases for systems biology
* Experimental techniques for comprehensive and high-precision
measurement
* Control of cells and biological systems
* Preemptive molecular medicine
* Medical applications
