Workshop: 21 (or 22) June 2010
Since about 15 years Petri nets have proved their usefulness for the
modelling, analysis, and simulation of a diversity of biological
networks, covering discrete, stochastic, continuous and hybrid models.
The deployment of Petri nets to study biological applications has not
only generated original models, but has also motivated fundamental
research. Indeed, because of their complexity, size and heterogeneity,
biological networks raise distinctive challenges to the modeller. The
goal of this workshop is to provide a platform for researchers aiming at
such fundamental research and real life applications.
Topics:
* standard Petri nets for qualitative modelling, if kinetics are unknown
or deliberately abstracted;
* discrete quantitative modelling by time Petri nets, * stochastic Petri
nets to account for intrinsic noise of molecular fluctuation, and/or
sources of extrinsic noise;
* Ordinary Differential Equations and continuous Petri nets, back and
forth;
* hybrid Petri nets, or how to handle different abstraction and time
scales in biological processes;
* case studies of metabolic, signalling, regulatory, and combined
networks, or other biological applications;
* analysis and simulation techniques, and related tools, including
exchange formats, dedicated to biological processes;

Paper submission
All papers should be at most 20 p. in LNCS format, and will have to be
submitted via EasyChair.
Submitted papers should describe original work that has not been
previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere.
We also invite "work in progress" papers, which have to be indicated as
such.
Workshop Proceedings
will be published by the hosting university.
Special Issue
Best papers will be proposed to be invited for the follow-up publication
in Transactions on Petri Nets and other models of Concurrency (ToPNoC),
