Kind regards, Jun ======================================== CMSB 2023: 21st Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology Luxembourg City, Luxembourg September 13-15, 2023 Conference website: https://cmsb2023.uni.lu/ CMSB series website: https://cmsb.sciencesconf.org/ ======================================== CMSB 2023 solicits original research articles, tool papers, posters, and highlight talks on the modelling and analysis of biological systems and networks, as well as the analysis of biological data. The conference brings together researchers from across biological, mathematical, computational, and physical sciences who are interested in the modelling, simulation, analysis, inference, design, and control of biological systems. It covers the broad field of computational methods and tools in systems and synthetic biology and their applications. ************************ INVITED SPEAKERS (New in the 2nd CfP) ************************ Jorge Goncalves – University of Luxembourg (Luxembourg) Philippe Jacques – University of Liège (Belgium) Mirco Tribastone – IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (Italy) Verena Wolf – Saarland University (Germany) ************************ LIST OF TOPICS ************************ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * formalisms for modelling biological processes; * methods and tools for biological system analysis, modelling and simulation; * frameworks for model verification, validation, analysis, and simulation of biological systems; * high-performance methods for computational systems biology; * identification of biological systems; * applications of machine learning and data analytics in biology; * network modelling, analysis, inference; * automated parameter and model synthesis; * model integration and biological databases; * multi-scale modelling and analysis methods; * design, analysis, and verification methods for synthetic biology; * methods for biomolecular computing and engineered molecular devices; * data-based approaches for systems and synthetic biology; * optimality and control of biological systems; * modelling, analysis and control of microbial communities. The conference welcomes new theoretical results with potential applications to systems and synthetic biology, as well as novel applications and case studies of existing methods, tools, or frameworks. The CMSB 2023 proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS/LNBI series and indexed by ISI Web of Science, Scopus, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, and Google Scholar. A selection of best papers is planned to be invited after the conference to be extended and submitted to a special issue of a major international journal. ************************ IMPORTANT DATES (all dates are AoE) ************************ Abstract submission: April 16, 2023 Paper submission: April 23, 2023 Notification: June 9, 2023 Camera ready: June 23, 2023 Poster/highlight talk: July 9, 2023 Conference: September 13-15, 2023 ************************ TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS ************************ Contributions should be submitted to one of the following categories: A) REGULAR PAPERS: Regular papers should describe original work that has not been previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. Accepted regular papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings in the Springer LNCS series. Papers in this category should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer LNCS style (including main figures and tables, excluding references and possible appendices). B) TOOL PAPERS: Tool papers should present new tools or public websites, new tool components or novel extensions to existing tools or websites supporting biological system modelling, analysis, simulation, or similar. Submissions must include information on methods, tool availability, and selected application results. They should be original and not previously published in a similar form. Accepted tool papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings in the Springer LNCS series. Papers in this category should have 4-6 pages in the Springer LNCS style (including main figures and tables, excluding references and possible appendices). C) POSTERS: Extended abstracts should be submitted to propose poster presentation of original unpublished work, or of major results published or accepted in the last year in a high-quality journal or conference. The abstracts should be submitted in Springer LNCS style and should not exceed 4 pages all included. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited for presentation in a poster session and/or for flash presentations. Poster submissions will not be included in the Springer LNBI proceedings. D) HIGHLIGHT TALKS: Highlight talk proposals should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract, for possible oral presentation without publication of related material in the conference proceedings. We particularly welcome submissions of recently published work. Submitted abstracts summarising the results and their relevance should not exceed 2 pages including references. Extended abstracts will not be included in the Springer LNBI proceedings. ************************ SUBMISSION INFORMATION ************************ All submitted papers and extended abstracts have to be written in English and must be submitted in the form of a PDF file using the EasyChair online submission system, at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmsb2023. Instruction for the Springer Nature LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee (see above for specific reviewing information about tools). All accepted contributions must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Springer Nature encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. If an author is interested in Open Access or Open Choice, please refer to Springer Nature’s webpage for prices and additional information. All CMSB authors should consult the Springer Nature Code of Conduct (https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct), including guidelines for authorship principles, originality, redundant publications, conflicts of interests, etc. In particular, we draw your attention to the Springer Nature policies in the section Ethical Approval and Informed Consent. ************************ PROGRAMME COMMITTEE ************************ Tatsuya Akutsu – University of Kyoto (Japan) Claudio Altafini – University of Linköping (Sweden) Daniela Besozzi – University of Milan Bicocca (Italy) Luca Bortolussi – University of Trieste (Italy) Frank Bruggeman – Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands) Luca Cardelli – University of Oxford (United Kingdom) Milan Ceska – Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic) Eugenio Cinquemani – Inria Grenoble-Rhône-Alpes (France) François Fages – Inria Saclay (France) Christoph Flamm – University of Vienna (Austria) Maxime Folschette – École Centrale de Lille (France) Anna Gambin – University of Warsaw (Poland) Ashutosh Gupta – Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India) Monika Heiner – Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany) Hillel Kugler – Bar-Ilan University (Israel) Luca Laurenti – TU Delft (Netherlands) Andrzej Mizera – University of Warsaw (Poland) Pedro T.
