CMSB2022: the 20th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology University of Bucharest Bucharest, Romania, September 14-16, 2022 Conference website https://fmi.unibuc.ro/en/cmsb-2022/ Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmsb2022 Abstract registration deadline April 27, 2022 Submission deadline May 4, 2022 CMSB 2022 - First Call for Papers The 20th conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB 2022, https://fmi.unibuc.ro/en/cmsb-2022/) will take place on September 14-16, in Bucharest (Romania), on-site, hybrid, or online, depending on the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic. CMSB is a well established conference series, whose aim is to bring together researchers from across the biological, mathematical, computational, and physical sciences, interested in the modelling, simulation, analysis, inference, design, and control of biological systems. List of Topics * 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; * applications of machine learning and data analytics in biology; * network modelling, analysis, inference; * automated parameter and model synthesis; * model integration and biological databases; * 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; * modelling, analysis and control of microbial communities.
