Parallel and Distributed Methods in verifiCation (PDMC 2010)
=======================================================================
September 30 - October 1, 2010, Twente, The Netherlands

http://www.cosbi.eu/hibi2010/

Co-locating with the joint ICGT/SPIN conference, Sep 27 - Oct 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES:
----------------
* Abstract submission: June 14, 2010
* Paper submission: June 21, 2010
* Author notification: July 31, 2010
* Workshop: September 30 - October 1, 2010

AIM AND SCOPE:
--------------
The HiBi workshop establishes a forum to link researchers in the areas
of parallel computing and computational systems biology.
One of the main limitations in managing models of biological systems
comes from the fundamental difference between the high parallelism
evident in biochemical reactions and the sequential environments
employed for the analysis of these reactions. Such limitations affect
all varieties of continuous, deterministic, discrete and stochastic
models; undermining the applicability of simulation techniques and
analysis of biological models.
The goal of HiBi is therefore to bring together researchers in the
fields of high performance computing and computational systems biology.
Experts from around the world will present their current work, discuss
profound challenges, new ideas, results, applications and their
experience relating to key aspects of high performance computing in
biology.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Parallel stochastic simulation
- Biological and Numerical parallel computing
- Parallel and distributed architectures
- Emerging processing architecture (Cell processors, GPUs, mixed
CPU-FPGA, etc.)
- Parallel model checking techniques
- Parallel parameter estimation
- Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
- Application of concurrency theory to biology
- Parallel visualization algorithms
- Web-services and Internet computing for e-Science
- Tools and applications

HiBi welcomes submissions for:
- full research papers describing recent advances at the border between
parallel computing and systems biology;
- short tool papers describing implemented parallel techniques and
tools for systems biology.

SUBMISSIONS:
------------
We accept

* regular papers (max. 8 pages in IEEE format)
* tool papers (max. 2 pages in IEEE format)
* work-in-progress presentations

All submissions must be original and unpublished. All submitted paper will
be peer-reviewed by the Program Committee. Regular and toolpapers accepted
for the presentation at the workshop will appear inIEEE post-proceedings.
A selection of best (full) papers will be published on a dedicated
special issue of the Briefings in Bioinformatics journal.
