#####################################################################


While registration of contributed talks is closed we are now
cordially inviting *poster contributions*.

This meeting aims to bring together state-of-the-art researchers
working, e.g., on methods for

     * graphical models and multiple time series,
     * inference of high-dimensional models, and
     * dynamics of complex systems

with focus on application areas such as

     * genetic networks,
     * gene expression analysis, and
     * systems biology.

Experimental researchers working in these fields are also highly
welcome.

Please register for presenting a poster and for participation
until FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2004.

For further information please visit the conference web page
(s.o.) where you will also find all contact details.
