CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS CMSB 2016 14th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology 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.
