SynBioCCC: Workshop on the Design, Simulation, Construction and Testing 
of Synthetic Gene Regulatory Networks for Computation, Control and 
Communication

A Satellite of ECAL 2011 (http://www.ecal11.org/) in Paris, France

*** SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

SynBioCCC will be the first workshop on synthetic biology at ECAL. It 
aims at providing a forum for electrical and computer 
science/engineering researchers who wish to be introduced to, or present 
their own work in, synthetic biology. This year, we will place a special 
focus on the three C’s (Computing, Control & Communications).

We invite the submission of both *papers and extended abstracts* on 
related topics. We are especially interested in papers or abstracts 
which have tutorial value, or that synthesize existing results. Papers 
or abstracts describing new work are, of course, also welcome.

*** TOPICS
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Reviews & tutorials of Synthetic Biology as applied to commuting, 
control & communications;
* Evolutionary & automated design of gene regulatory networks (GRNs);
* Modelling & simulation of GRNs;
* Novel GRN designs for computing, control & communication;
* Results of implemented GRNs (in wet labs);
* New paradigms of computing using genes, cells and populations of cells;
* Other papers related to the use of Synthetic Biology methods & 
materials for computing, control & communications or the use of 
computers/computing science for Synthetic Biology.

*** ORGANIZERS:
N. Kharma (Concordia University) and T. Kowaliw (ISC-PIF, CNRS)

*** IMPORTANT DATES
* Deadline for submission of extended abstracts / papers: *27 May 2011*
* Notification of acceptance: 5 June 2011
* Deadline for registration: 9 June 2011 for early rates
* Date of workshop: Friday, 12 August 2011

With very best regards,
