The 3rd International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation, June 6 - 7, 2011
San Diego Convention Center, Co-located with the Design Automation Conference
Workshop Website:
http://www.biodesignautomation.org
The International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) brings together
researchers from the synthetic biology, systems biology, and design
automation communities. The focus is on concepts, methodologies, and
software tools to enable the computational analysis of biological systems
and the synthesis of biological functions. Still in its early stages, the
field of synthetic biology has been driven by experimental expertise; much
of its success can be attributed to the skill of the researchers in specific
domains of biology. There has been a concerted effort to assemble
repositories of standardized components. However, creating and integrating
synthetic components remains an ad hoc process. The field has now reached a
stage where it calls for computer-aided design tools. The electronic design
automation (EDA) community has unique expertise to contribute to this
endeavor. This workshop offers a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion,
with the aim of seeding collaboration between the research communities.
Tracks of interest include:
- Design methodologies for synthetic biology.
- Standardization of biological components.
- Automated assembly techniques.
- Computer-aided modeling and abstraction techniques.
- Engineering methods inspired by biology.
- Domain specific languages for synthetic biology.
- Data exchange standards and models for synthetic biology.
The workshop will be held on June 6 - 7, 2011 at the San Diego Convention
Center, co-located with the Design Automation Conference, the premier
conference in the field of electronic design automation with over 10,000
attendees. Registration information will be posted on the workshop webpage:

Abstract Submission
Abstracts should be two pages long, following the ACM SIG Proceedings
templates at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
Indicate whether you would like your abstract considered for a poster
presentation, an oral presentation, or both. Include the full names,
affiliations and contact information of all authors.
Abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Those that are selected
for oral and poster presentations will distributed to workshop participants
and posted on the workshop website.
Abstracts should be submitted by April 5th at:

IWBDA 2011 Collection in PLoS ONE
IWBDA 2011 will have an associated journal special collection in the
interdisciplinary open access journal PLoS ONE. Abstract authors will be
specifically invited and encouraged to submit to this collection, although
submission is open to any paper describing work on IWBDA tracks of interest.
Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed according to PLoS ONE standard
editorial policies.
