======================================================== Due to the current events in Japan, PETRI NETS and ACSD have been moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Submission deadline has been extended to April 15th, as recommended by the organizers of the main conference. Proceedings will be published on-line via CEUR, see http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/ *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** +++++ The submission deadline has been extended to April 15, 2011 +++++ 2nd Workshop on Biological Processes and Petri Nets (BioPPN 2011) (pre-program of Petri Nets 2011, http://www.jaist.ac.jp/acsd-petrinets2011/) 20 June 2011 Kanazawa, Japan Web: http://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/BME/BioPPN2011 *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Paper submission deadline: 15 April 2011 Notification of acceptance: 15 May 2011 Final version due: 1 June 2011 Workshop: 20 June 2011 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. Thanks to their complexity, size and heterogeneity, biological networks raise distinctive challenges to the modellers. 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, or 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; Programme Committee Co-Chairs Monika Heiner, D Hiroshi Matsuno, JP Programme Committee David Angeli, I Gianfranco Balbo, I Rainer Breitling, NL, UK Jorge Carneiro, PT Claudine Chaouiya, F, PT Austin H.

Thiagarajan, SG Toshimitsu Ushio, JP Paper submission All papers should be 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. There are three categories of papers: - Regular papers should not exceed 15 p. in LNCS format. - "Work in progress" papers, also up to 15 p. in LNCS format, which have to be indicated as such. - Short papers presenting original results should not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format, including figures, tables and references. Short papers may be selected for oral presentation. Workshop Proceedings Currently, it is planned to apply for the electronic publication of the workshops' proceedings with CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). 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), see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-417809-0. ---- [[ Petri Nets World: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/ ]] [[ Mailing list FAQ: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/pnml/faq.html ]] [[ Post messages/summary of replies: ]] [[ [email protected] ]] ---- [[ Petri Nets World: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/ ]] [[ Mailing list FAQ: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/pnml/faq.html ]] [[ Post messages/summary of replies: ]] [[ [email protected] ]]
