The 2nd edition of the Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference (NBIC)
The 4th edition of the International Symposium on Networks in Bioinformatics
(ISNB)
April 16-19, 2007
Amsterdam, De Rode Hoed
NBIC
The Netherlands Bioinformatics Conference is an initiative of the Netherlands
Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC). NBIC aims to create a lively bioinformatics
community in the Netherlands through the initiation of programmes that consist
of experts from multiple research groups. For example the research programme
BioRange, in which computer scientists and biologists cooperate in projects
related to genomics themes, such as bioinformatics for micro array technology,
proteomics and metabolomics. In the first edition in 2006, the NBIC conference
focused on this research programme. In 2007 NBIC does not focus on a
specialized theme, but aims to offer an internationally appealing conference
programme for the bioinformatics community at large.
ISNB
The focus of 4th International Symposium on Networks in Bioinformatics will be
on biological networks such as metabolic, signal transduction pathways and
genetic regulatory networks. Understanding of these networks is crucial for
understanding molecular and cellular processes in the organism or system under
study. This field is subject of lively research and both experimental and
computational approaches are used to elucidate the biological networks. The
bioinformatics of biological networks involves a broad range of research and
approaches. Research includes the identification of regulatory elements in
DNA, developmental biology, genome context analysis, modelling and simulation
of pathways, reconstruction of pathways from experimental data, visualization
of pathways, and the representation of pathways in database, graphs and
mark-up languages.

13th CZECH-FRENCH-GERMAN CONFERENCE ON OPTIMIZATION
Heidelberg, Germany, September 17-21, 2007
http://cfg07.uni-hd.de
cfg@uni-hd.de
*********************************************************************
The conference is the 13th of the series of French-German meetings which
started in Oberwolfach in 1980. This time, it is organized jointly with
Czech optimizers, and takes place in the historical center of Germany’s
oldest university town, Heidelberg. The conference will consist of invited
plenary, invited minisymposium and regular talks on all aspects of
optimization.
INCLUDED TOPICS:
– continuous optimization (smooth and nonsmooth)
– numerical methods for mathematical programming
– optimal control and calculus of variations
– robust optimization
– mixed integer optimization
– optimization with PDE
– differential inclusions and set-valued analysis
– stochastic optimization
– multicriteria optimization
– optimization techniques for industrial applications
CONFERENCE VENUE:
Heidelberg is an ancient university town in the south west of Germany,
located just where the quiet Neckar river flows out of the mountains into
the broad and warm valley of the Rhine. Among its attractions is a castle
that inspired romanticists since over two centuries. The conference will
take place in the traditional university buildings right in the middle of
the old town, and September is an attractive month for visiting
Heidelberg.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
– talk abstract submission: march 31st, 2007
– early registration fee: may 25th, 2007
– poster submission: june 1st, 2007

International Conference in Modeling Health Advances (ICMHA’07)
San Francisco, USA, 24-26 October, 2007
Parent Event: The World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science (WCECS’07)
Organizer: Prof. B.D. Aggarwala, University of Calgary, Canada
Important Dates:
Last date of submission of manuscripts: 6 July, 2007
Last date for sumbission of final camera-ready paper: 30 July, 2007
Pre-registration due: 30 July, 2007
A host of new diseases, like HIV/AIDS, BSE, Avian Flu, West Nile Virus and
others have appeared on the scene during the last twenty five years and
undoubtedly, more will come in the coming years. To tackle these illnesses,
the cooperation of modelers, mathematicians, statisticians, computer
scientists, and others, and of researchers from the medical community is
absolutely essential. Modeling is important because it gives important insight
into the method of treatment. In the case of HIV/AIDS, for example,
mathematical modeling indicated that a combination of both protease inhibitors
and reverse transcriptase inhibitors would be far more effective than any one
of these two drugs.

———————————————
UC’07 is the 6th Conference in the Series Unconventional Computation.
The first venue of the International Conference on Unconventional Computation
(formerly called Unconventional Models of Computation) was Auckland, New
Zealand in 1998; subsequent sites of the conference were Brussels, Belgium in
2000, Kobe, Japan in 2002, Sevilla, Spain in 2005, and York, U.K. in 2006.
By coming to Kingston in 2007, the International Conference on Unconventional
Computation makes its debut in the Americas.

SHORT COURSE:
Parallel Simulations with NEURON (separate materials fee) (Hines, Carnevale,
Calin-Jageman)
This one day course focuses on the use of NEURON in a parallel simulation
environment. We will review key concepts of distributed computing as they
