CMSB series website: https://cmsb.sciencesconf.org/

CMSB, the conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, aims 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

CMSB 2022 is planned as a physical, in-person event, with certain support for remote presence, both for speakers and for other participants who are unable or unwilling to come.

INVITED SPEAKERS

Alessandra Carbone (Sorbonne Université, France)
Gabriela Chiosis (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, USA)
Loïc Paulevé (Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique, France)
Alfonso Rodríguez-Patón (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain)
Erik Sonnhammer (Stockholm University, Sweden)

IMPORTANT DATES (all dates are AoE)

Poster/highlight talk:  July 14, 2022
Conference:   September 14-16, 2022

PAPER SUBMISSION

CMSB 2022 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or tools related to the topics mentioned below. In this call we solicit two types of papers: posters and highlight talks:

POSTERS: Extended abstracts should be submitted to propose poster presentation of original unpublished work, or of major results published or accepted in the last year in a high-quality journal or conference. The abstracts should be submitted in Springer LNCS style and should not exceed 4 pages all included. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited for presentation in poster sessions and for flash presentations in plenary conference sessions. Note: poster submissions will not be included in the Springer LNBI proceedings.

HIGHLIGHT TALKS: Highlight talk proposals should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract, for possible oral presentation in a plenary conference session, without publication of related material in the conference proceedings. We particularly welcome submission of work recently published in high quality forums. Submitted abstracts summarizing the results and their relevance should not exceed 2 pages including references. Note: extended abstracts will not be included in the Springer LNBI proceedings.
The poster and highlight talks submissions will undergo a review process with a quick turnover.

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmsb2022
