General Information

The workshop focuses on the use of discrete models in systems biology. Discrete modeling approaches have been applied to a wide variety of biological contexts, including gene regulatory networks, epidemiology, and ecosystem dynamics. Examples of topics of interest in the workshop are

1. Discrete dynamical systems: multi-state models such as Boolean networks, logical models, and finite dynamical systems; random networks; and analytic tools including statistical-mechanical approaches
2. Bayesian networks, including dynamic Bayesian networks and graphical models
3. Static networks: interaction networks and graph-theoretic approaches
4. Biochemical reaction networks
5. Simulation: finite-state machines, agent-based networks, process algebras

A chief goal is to stimulate discussion focused on key challenges in discrete modeling in computational systems biology, particularly the establishment of unifying themes and principles.

Note: The workshop will end with lunch on Friday, December 5, allowing participants to return home that afternoon.
