[alife] 2nd call for short papers and abstracts, Nice'13 Thematic Research School "Advances in Systems and Synthetic Biology", March 25-29, 2013

[Costas]

Dear Alife colleagues,


Please find below 2nd call for papers of the 13th thematic school "Advances
in Systems and Synthetic Biology" which includes several topics very
pertinent to the Artificial life community.


The Thematic School “Advances in Systems and Synthetic Biology - Modelling
Complex Biological Systems in the Context of Genomics” will be held in Nice
on March 25-29, 2013. We are organizing an international workshop for
students (PhD and M2) and post-doctoral fellows. This workshop offers the
opportunity for students and post-doctoral fellows to discuss their
projects and to get feedback from other participants by sharing their
experience in a favourable environment.  The M2, PhD or post-doc projects
can concern either an introductory presentation, works in progress or some
first conclusive results. Topics of interest include any contribution
helping to understand or to engineer biological systems by using models
coming from physics, chemistry, engineering, computer sciences or
mathematics.


There are two submission procedures:

- Article submission. The short paper (between 3 and 8 pages in A4 format)
should be written in English, with at least a M2, PhD student or
post-doctoral fellow among the authors. It will be reviewed by the
scientific committee of the School. Once the paper is accepted, the student
must attend the workshop and present his work in English during a 15
minutes-presentation.  Free registration is proposed to one of the authors
(M2, PhD, post-doc) of an accepted paper. The short papers will be
published in the proceedings book of the School.  In case the paper is
rejected, authors will be invited to present a poster.

- Poster submission only. The poster abstract (one A4 page maximum) should
be written in English and possibly also in French. Poster abstracts will
not be published in the proceedings book.  Reduced registration fees will
be granted.


Details and instructions for the submissions can be found at:

Important dates for the submission of articles or posters:

- Submission of short papers: before January 15, 2013

- Notification of acceptance: February 5, 2013

- Early bird registration: February 8, 2013

- Submission of abstracts for posters only: March 10, 2013.



Best wishes,
