Scientific presentations
We invite you to present your work in any area of computational systems biology.
Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include

Modeling and identification of biological systems
Dynamics of complex biological systems
Optimization and control of biological processes
Design and synthesis of biological systems
Computational nanoscience and nanotechnology
Systems biology and drug development
Inference of gene regulatory and protein signaling networks
Protein-protein interaction networks
Proteomics for systems biology
Inference of gene interaction networks
Metabolomics in Health and Disease
Evolution of biological networks
Systems biology and environmental science
Systems biology and genome-wide association studies

Original research papers: Papers reporting on original researching in computational systems biology are sought. Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. A selection of the accepted paper after peer review will be invited to appear in a special issue of the IEE Proceedings Systems Biology devoted to ICCSB 2006.
Posters: Posters, representing condensed descriptions of ongoing work, will be displayed during the meeting.
Software demonstrations: A room will be available for demonstrating software that is relevant to the computational systems biology.
