CALL FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS: PLEASE REGISTER UNTIL 25 SEPTEMBER 2004 ##################################################################### C o m p l e x S t o c h a s t i c S y s t e m s in Biology and Medicine Munich, 7-8 October, 2004 http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/sfb386/workshop/css2004/ ##################################################################### 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.
