Track: Modeling and Simulation for Biosciences and Bioinformatics



The goal of this special session is to explore the use of Modeling and
Simulation (M&S) in the domain of assisting Bioscientists and
Bioinformaticians as users/practitioners. The key focus of this session is
on the client/user aspect of modeling and simulation paradigms and tools.
Thus the track is geared more towards exploiting and bringing together
innovations using M&S as assistive technologies for everyday tasks of
Bioscientist practitioners (as users with limited Computational, Modeling
and Simulation or programming skills). We welcome papers, not submitted
elsewhere for review, with a focus on assisting practitioners in topics of
interest ranging from but not limited to:

· Exploratory Bioinformatics and Computational Biological models,
simulations and tools for helping Bioscientists

· Modeling and simulation as decision support for assisting Bioscientists
and Medical practitioners

· Agent-based Modeling and simulation for Biological Systems, Healthcare
facilities or Social Systems etc.

· Verification and Validation of Biological Simulations

· Equation based Modeling of Biological Systems

· Development and analysis of Complex Biological and Social Networks (Formal
Specification, Modeling, Analysis and Simulation)

· Modeling and Simulation in System Biology

· Modeling and simulation of congenital disorders

· Modeling and simulation of epidemics and other diseases

· HIV/AIDS related M&S

· Tumor Growth modeling and Simulation

· Distributed Simulation of Biological Systems

· Formal Specification and Models such as using Z formal specification
language, Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) etc.

· Use of Cognitive Computation and AI techniques such as Neural Networks,
Genetic Algorithms, Bio-inspired techniques, swarm intelligence algorithms
for developing models of Biological systems

· Modeling and Simulation of Body Sensor Networks for e-Health

· Modeling and Simulation of Pervasive and Ambient Assisted Living systems,
Disease Tracking and Monitoring systems

· Artificial Life related topics

Authors' Guidelines (further information author’s instruction
section<http://www.msc-les.org/conf/EMSS2011/index_file/EMSS11_AuthorsInstructions.htm>
)

FIRST SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (minimum 2 pages), full draft papers or other proposals
should be submitted for the review process through the submission section
by April 15, 2011.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper must contain title, authors,
affiliations, addresses, main body and references.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two
members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration
scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written
in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by
following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting
can be accepted for the first submission.



NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by May 15, 2011.



CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready
papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2
columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference
template<http://www.msc-les.org/Conf/I3M2011/Files/I3M_Template.dot>.
The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera
ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF
file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must
be submitted by using the submission section before the 15th of June 2011.

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included  in the author
registration fee).Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by  your
institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that  process
will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it
in the CD Conference Proceedings.



Best,

Muaz
