Special issue of TCS/C on Foundational Methods in Systems Biology: call for papers
by Ion Petre 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

** Please distribute this call for papers also in your own groups/networks ** Special issue of Theoretical Computer Science (track C) on Foundational Methods in Systems Biology Submission: continuous, cut-off date May 15, 2023 ================================================================= Dear Colleague, With this email we would like to invite you to submit a paper to the special issue of the Theoretical Computer Science journal (series C: Natural Computing) on “Foundations of Systems Biology”. This special issue is aligned with the conference series on “Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB)” and shares its topics of interests. We look for original research articles on foundational aspects of systems biology and their applications. 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; • network modelling, analysis, inference; • automated parameter and model synthesis; • 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; • machine learning for systems biology. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Extended versions of manuscripts that have been published in conference proceedings (CMSB or other conferences) can be submitted to this special issue if they have been extended by at least 30% and the differences between the two versions are explained in the introduction. The manuscripts should include all content in the article, rather than in appendices or in supplementary information. Please prepare your article in LaTeX in the Elsevier journal paper format (https://www.elsevier.com/authors/author-schemas/latex-instructions) and submit it using the editorial manager (https://www.editorialmanager.com/TCS/default.aspx) The tile of the special issue is “Foundations of Systems Biology” (short title VSI: FoundSysBio). In order to properly assign your submission to the special issue we are preparing, it is crucial to select VSI: FoundSysBio twice, as Article Type (starting the submission procedure) and Requested Editor (in Review Preferences). All papers for the special issue will be reviewed following the standard refereeing procedure for Theoretical Computer Science. Submissions will be reviewed on a continuous basis, with a cut-off date set for May 15, 2023. We suggest an upper limit of 40 pages on the length of the paper in the LaTeX style of the journal; please contact us if you need more pages for your manuscript. To keep track of the papers, please inform us of after the submission with an email to ion.petre(a)utu.fi and apaun(a)fmi.unibuc.ro. With best wishes, Ion Petre and Andrei Paun Guest editors of the special issue of TCS/C on Foundations of Systems Biology

BioSB course Integrated Modeling and Optimization, 12-16 December 2022, Wageningen, the Netherlands
by Celia van Gelder 04 Nov '22

04 Nov '22

Dear colleagues, Also in this academic year the BioSB research school, Wageningen University & Reserach and Eindhoven University of Technology will organize the course: *Integrated Modeling and Optimization* 12-16 December 2022, Wageningen University Website: https://www.dtls.nl/courses/integrated-modeling-and-optimization-2022/ Computational modelling is an absolute requisite to gain understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying patterns observed in experimental data. However, one could say that modelling is a craftsmanship, that can only be learned via intense exercising and ‘learning by doing’. In this course we offer the participants the possibility to learn and exercise the modeling process and the optimization techniques needed to fit models to data. In the course the students will learn: - to understand the common ground and the differences for applications of dynamic modeling in metabolic, regulatory, signaling, and multi-scale biological processes - how to set-up a dynamic model to represent biological networks using different interaction mechanisms - to implement, simulate and analyze dynamic network models - to understand the wide variety of problems in modelling that can be solved with optimization · - to apply different types of numerical optimization methods: global and local search methods: steepest descent, Levenberg-Marquardt, genetic algorithms, linear programming. - the combination of dynamic modeling and optimization to integrate experimental data in modelling, estimate model parameters and design experiments. - to understand how numerical optimization (linear programming) works in flux balance analysis to simulate metabolic network models. Lecturers: · Prof. Natal van Riel, Eindhoven University of Technology (course coordinator) · Dr. Aalt-Jan van Dijk, Wageningen University & Research · Prof. Jaap Molenaar, Wageningen University & Research · Dr. Hans Stigter, Wageningen University & Research · Dr. Robert Smith, Wageningen University & Research · Dr. Dragan Bosnacki, Eindhoven University of Technology Target audience: The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics, systems biology, computer science or a related field, and life sciences. Participants from the private sector are also welcome. A working knowledge of mathematics, especially differential equations, is recommendable, but we will distribute preparation material to be studied by students missing the required background. Furthermore, at the start we offer a math refresher to help those participants who are not (yet) involved in modelling on a daily basis.  -- Dr. Celia W.G. van Gelder Training Programme Manager DTL/ELIXIR-NL/Health-RI Network Manager TDCC-LSH tel. +31613375327 e-mail: celia.van.gelder(a)dtls.nl websites: https://www.dtls.nl/, https://www.health-ri.nl/, https://www.elixir-europe.org/platforms/training twitter: celia_vgelder Office: DTL | Jaarbeurs Innovation Mile (JIM) | 6th floor Beatrixgebouw | Jaarbeursplein 6 | 3521 AL Utrecht While I may be sending this email outside my normal office hours, I have no expectation to receive a reply outside yours.
