Genetic and Biological Networks:
Models, Dynamics, and Simulations


4 October 2007 - Dresden, Germany


A satellite workshop of the ECCS 2007: European Conference on Complex Systems, 1-5 October 2007, Dresden.



Description
Biological systems show emerging functional properties originating from their many interacting units and their inherent multi-level structure. In recent years, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, and computer scientists have been joining efforts in order to understand the different aspects of the collective phenomena exhibited by aggregates of cells and by regulatory networks. The aim of this meeting is to bring together experts in such fields to discuss and explore our understanding of complex biological networks and their applications in the life sciences. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, gene-regulatory, molecular, and metabolic networks, bioinformatics, population dynamics, neural systems, evolutionary dynamics, and mathematical biology.
