Objectives

A lot of biological models suffer from a high combinatorial complexity. Many methods have been proposed to break down this combinatorial complexity. Some of these methods are informal and are validated experimentally. By contrast, static analysis-based scalable formal methods increase the level of confidence by providing formal characterization of what is computed. Being automatic, easily reusable, and offering formal soundness criteria, static analyses can help designing models, testing models with respect to experimental data, and predicting the behavior of the system being modeled.
The goal of this workshop is to promote discussions and collaborations between biologists (modelers), computer scientists (in static analysis) and applied-mathematicians around the design and the use of static analysis methods for biological models.

The third SASB will be co-located with SAS 2012 in Deauville, France.

Submissions

Please visit the submission website.

The program of SASB 2012 will consist mainly of presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on all aspects about the use of static analysis methods in Systems Biology, including, but not limited to:

  • bottle-neck challenges for static analysis of biological models,
  • new static analysis frameworks,
  • modeling experiences using static analysis,

Paper submission

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by the program committee.

Submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages including bibliography, and follow the ENTCS guidelines. Submitted papers may include, in addition, an appendix containing technical details, which reviewers may read or not, at their discretion.

Papers must be written and presented in English, and describe original work that does not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings.

Poster submission

All submitted posters will be peer-reviewed by the program committee.

Poster format is free with the stipulation that the size should not exceed A0 size (32.7 by 45.4 inches or 80 by 115.4 cm) in portrait (vertical) set-up. Moreover, the text must be written in English. A PDF version of the poster is required at the submission.

Publication

There is preliminary approval to publish the workshop proceedings in ENTCS.
