SIAM Workshop on Computational Models and Simulation for Intra-Cellular Processes, October 4-5, 2002, Hilton Garden Inn, Washington, D.C.


About the Symposium

The interaction between the mathematical and computational sciences and biology has been growing in importance in the last decade, but it is still a beginning. There is tremendous room for progress. For example, major advances are needed in mathematical and statistical methods to have significant impact on the prediction and control of spatio-temporal cellular behavior. Some specific processes that are amenable to mathematical methods are networks of molecular interactions such as gene-gene, gene-protein, and protein-protein. Applications of such interactions include discovery of functional modules in cellular systems, and rapid and precise identification of targets and design of intervention methods that influence molecular dynamics.

How to Participate

You are invited to contribute a presentation for this conference in one of the following formats.

Minisymposia

A minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of: a title, a description (not exceeding 100 words), a list of 4 speakers (a minisymposium organizer may also be a speaker in his/her minisymposium, usually the first presenter to give an expository talk), and titles of their presentations. It is recommended that the minisymposium organizer make the first talk as tutorial as possible. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract. Contributed minisymposia will be refereed by the Organizing Committee. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference session.

Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: April 10, 2002

To submit go to: http://www.siam.org/meetings/cm02/part.htm

Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas of computational models and Simulation for Intra-Cellular Processes consistent with the conference themes. A lecture format involves a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. A poster format involves the use of visual aids such as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets for mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or poster format, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 75 words. Instructions for how to submit abstracts electronically are posted on this website at www.siam.org/meetings/cm02/ .

Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts and minisymposium abstracts: May 2, 2002

To submit go to: http://www.siam.org/meetings/cm02/part.htm
