and Posters: The BioPathways Meeting@ISMB04
The 6th BioPathways meeting will be held on July 29th and 30th, in Glasgow, Scotland, as a satellite of ISMB/EECB'04 (www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2004/). The meeting is organized by the BioPathways Consortium (www.biopathways.org),
an open forum aimed at fostering computational approaches to the modeling,
reconstruction, analysis and simulation of biological networks.
As in previous years, the meeting will include plenary sessions, presenting invited talks on various aspects of computational pathway biology such as systems scale analysis of molecular networks, reconstruction of pathways from heterogenous types of high throughout data, the evolution of molecular pathways, and the representation and visualization of pathway data. Each plenary session will include several long invited presentations (45'), followed by a panel discussion on the theme.
To encourage presentation of cutting-edge research and work-in-progress in computational approaches to molecular pathways, we will include a tools session this year, consisting of short presentations of relevant tools.
Selected tools will also be featured on the BioPathways Consortiums web site. Particular emphasis will be made on works along the themes of the plenary sessions, as well as research in pathway visualization and reconstruction, all of which are subjects followed by the consortium's workgroups.
If you wish to present a tool or a contributed talk at BioPathways 2004, please send a 200 word abstract describing your work. Authors are encouraged to add URLs of web-based tools. Abstracts should arrive by May 30th, and presenters will be notified no later than June 15th.
