==============================================================================

Oct. 9th - 13th, 2017, Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca, Milan, ITALY
http://co.mbine.org/events/COMBINE_2017
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Computational Modeling in Biology" Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate
the development of the various community standards and formats in systems biology and
related fields. COMBINE 2017 will be a workshop-style event with oral presentations,
posters, and breakout sessions. The five meeting days will include talks about the COMBINE
standards and associated or related standardization efforts, as well as presentations
of tools using these standards. Oral presentations will be selected from the submitted
abstracts. In addition, poster sessions will allow people to inform each other about their
software and other projects in a setting that fosters interaction and in-depth discussion.


CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
------------------

We solicit high-quality abstracts, to be refereed by the COMBINE
Coordinators below, for either oral or poster presentation at the
Workshop. Abstracts will appear on the COMBINE website only, there
will be no formal publication.

Please see the COMBINE website for submission instructions. The
submission process is hosted by Easychair.



TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Data exchange, pipelines and model standards for systems biology
- Graphical notation standards for systems biology
- Standards for sharing and analysing biological pathway data
- Standards for computational biological models
