| ********************************************************************* Call for Papers --- HSB 2012 First International Workshop on Hybrid Systems and Biology Newcasle upon Tyne, UK, September 3, 2012 Colocated with CONCUR 2012 http://hsb2012.units.it/ ********************************************************************* The goal of systems biology is to provide a system-level understanding of biological systems by unveiling their structure, dynamics and control methods. The intrinsic multi-scale nature of these systems, both in space, in organization levels, and in time, makes extremely difficult to model all of them in a uniform way, e.g. by means of differential equations or discrete stochastic processes. Furthermore such models are often not easily amenable to formal analysis and simulation at the organ or even the cell level is frequently impractical. Indeed, an important open problem is finding appropriate computational models that scale well for both the simulation and formal analysis of biological processes. Hybrid modeling techniques, combining discrete and continuous processes, are gaining more and more attention in systems biology, and they have been applied to successfully capture the behavior of several biological complex systems, ranging from genetic networks, biochemical reactions, signaling pathways and cardiac tissues electrophysiology. This workshop aims at collecting scientists working in the area of hybrid modeling applied to systems biology, in order to discuss about current achieved goals, current challenges and future possible developments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hybrid models of biological systems (case studies of genetic, cellular networks, models of tissues, etc.) * Computational and mathematical analysis techniques for hybrid systems (i.e. reachability, model checking, abstract interpretation, bifurcation theory for hybrid dynamical systems, etc.), with applications in Systems Biology. * Hybrid system identification techniques (learning the model from the experimental data) * Efficient simulation techniques for hybrid systems. * Hybrid modeling languages for biological systems. * Hybrid systems coping with incomplete and uncertain information. * Sensitivity analysis for hybrid systems. * Behaviour-driven parameters identification for hybrid systems. * Analysis and simulation tools. We solicit the submission of unpublished results that address on both theoretical and applied aspects of hybrid modeling techniques in systems biology. The proceedings will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series. A special issue in a journal will be considered at the end of the workshop. Paper submission Full papers should be no more than 15 pages long, typesetted in the EPTCS-style. Electronic submissions of abstracts and of full-length papers (in PDF format), can be done through the online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hsb2012 Important dates June 15, 2012 - Abstract submission deadline June 22, 2012 - Full paper submission deadline July 30, 2012 - Notification of paper acceptance August 7, 2012 - Camera-ready of accepted papers Program co-chairs Ezio Bartocci, University of Stony Brook, USA Luca Bortolussi, Univerity of Trieste, Italy Program committee Marco Antoniotti, University of Milano Bicocca Gregory Batt, INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, France Alberto Casagrande, University of Trieste, Italy Edmund Clarke, Carnegie Mellon, USA Thao Dang, VERIMAG Lab, Grenoble, France Alexandre Donzé, VERIMAG Lab, Grenoble, France James R.
