Aims and Scope:
---------------
This workshops aims to bring together scientists from diverse fields within the computational and systems biology community to foster and advance the emerging community of gene networks. All aspects of different gene networks, e.g., metabolic, transcriptional regulatory, signaling or protein-protein interaction networks as well as statistical and computational methods for the inference, reconstruction or analysis from experimental or synthetic data are welcome. New methods combining data from different sources of high-throughput or other data are of special interest.
The workshop is part of BIOCOMP'06 (The 2006 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology) which is organized in conjunction with WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing) and all accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings thereof.
Additionally, we plan to publish extended versions of accepted papers in a special issue of a journal.
