LNBI Transactions on Computational Systems Biology calls for paper
submissions for a special issue on “Computational Models for Cell
Processes”. Original papers are sought in all areas that relate to the
relevance and potential of formal methods and computational modeling and
simulation in systems biology. Of special interest are contributions that
present biological processes requiring special tools and techniques that
have not been investigated so far in the context of formal methods, as well
as extensions of already existing formalisms introduced to improve their
applicability in the life sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Formal models for cellular pathways
- Qualitative biological modeling
- Quantitative formal methods
- Theoretical comparison of formalisms for biological processes
- Biologically-inspired extensions to formal methods and concurrency theory
- Differential, discrete and/or stochastic modeling languages
- Reconstruction of biological networks based on empirical data
- Decomposition and modularization of large biological networks
- Applications of formal methods and computational modeling
- Membrane systems as a modeling platform
The list of topics is suggestive rather than exhaustive. We are open to a
wide range of approaches from theoretical methodological papers to case
studies. Papers should be submitted to ipetre@abo.fi in the LNCS format (see
link below). Manuscripts submitted to this special issue should have at most
25 pages, including figures, tables, and the list of references.
For queries about this special issue, please feel free to contact the
special issue guest editors, Ralph-Johan Back (backrj@abo.fi), Ion Petre
(ipetre@abo.fi), Corrado Priami (priami@cosbi.eu), and Erik de
Vink(evink@win.tue.nl).
