Fourth International Workshop on Computational Systems Biology, WCSB 2006 June 12-13, 2006 Tampere, Finland

Following the three successful previous events of WCSB, Tampere University of Technology will host the next WCSB event in Tampere, June 2006. WCSB aims at bringing together the various communities involved in the different aspects of computational systems biology research. The scientific program will include invited plenary talks, special sessions as well as regular sessions with contributed research papers.

Selected papers will be published as proceedings. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to:

• Applications of Image Processing in Systems Biology
• Discrete Models and Ensemble Approach in Theoretical Biology
• Simulation, Modeling and Data Analysis in Systems Biology
• Applications of Computational Methods in Cell and Molecular Biology
  

Note: paper submission deadline has been extended until 5.3.2006. This is because there will be a Biopattern steering group meeting in Tampere in June. The deadline was extended by two weeks, such that those attending the Biopattern meeting can join us, too.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers of not more than four (4) pages including results, figures and references. The papers will be reviewed and those accepted are published in the proceedings of WCSB06. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the electronic submission system. Style files (Latex and Word) will be provided for the convenience of the authors.

The city is readily reached with direct connections from several European cities, including Stockholm, Copenhagen, London and Frankfurt. Still, the location enjoys the beautiful nature offering its best in the summertime.
