To those interested in bioinformatics and computational biology: CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP ON CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN LARGE SCALE NETWORK ANALYSIS IN SYSTEMS BIOLOGY (COLNASB’18) https://www.sysbio.polito.it/colnasb Dec 3-6, 2018, Madrid, Spain In last decade networks have been largely applied to represent several intracellular biological interactions, molecular components within a cell are typically represented as nodes and their direct or indirect interactions as links. Networks are a good abstraction layer to integrate heterogeneous data and provide effective methods to deal with the large complexity usually associated to complex biological systems. Depending on the represented molecular components the resulting network name may vary: metabolism, cell-signalling, enzymatic reactions, gene regulation, protein-protein interaction, disease-gene interaction, drug interaction networks. Thus, the ability to represent the heterogeneous complexity of biological regulatory systems as networks, offers today a generalised methodology to abstract and analyse network related properties (i.e., topology, motif, network measures, etc...), which in turn provides insight into organisational principles that are otherwise difficult to highlight. TOPICS - Network inference and visualisation - Network properties and topology analysis - Clustering and community detection - Algorithms for networks visit and analysis - Motifs/pattern recognition and characterisation - Network modelling and simulation - Systems Biology: personalised medicine IMPORTANT DATES Sept 30, 2018: Due date for full workshop papers submission Oct 27, 2018: Notification of paper acceptance to authors Nov 10, 2018: Camera-ready of accepted papers Dec 3-6, 2018: Workshop PAPER SUBMISSION The cyberchair system submission portal is available at the following link https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2018/bibm18/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S17&undisplay_detail=1&wh=/cyberchair/2018/bibm18/scripts/ws_submit.php ORGANIZATION Program Chairs Alfredo Benso, Professor, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Stefano Di Carlo, Professor, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Gianfranco Politano, Assistant Professor, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Program Committee Hafeez Ur Rehman, National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences, Pakistan Marco Mina, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland Giulia Fiscon, IASI Institute, National Research Council (CNR), Italy Prashanth Suravajhala, Birla Institute of Scientific Research, India Akdes Serin Harmanci, Health Science Center, University of Texas, USA Vincenzo Bonnici, Department of computer science, University of Verona, Italy Bent Petersen, Department of Bio and Health Informatics , DTU, Denmark Federica Conte, IASI Institute, National Research Council (CNR), Italy Olivia Angelin-Bonnet, Institute of Fundamental Sciences, Massey University, New Zealand HOST CONFERENCE INFORMATION For information about travel, program scheduling, venue and registration, please refer to the host conference website (http://orienta.ugr.es/bibm2018/index.html) CONTACTS For any questions, please contact the Workshop chairs: Alfredo Benso, [log in to unmask] Stefano Di Carlo, [log in to unmask] Gianfranco Politano, [log in to unmask] You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
