SASB 2017
The Eighth International Workshop on Static Analysis in Systems Biology
Colocated with Static Analysis Workshop (SAS) 2017

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sasb2017/

29th August 2017, New York, New York

Objectives
SASB is a one-day workshop aimed at promoting discussions and collaborations at the intersection between programming languages, formal methods, static analysis, and systems and synthetic biology of natural and engineered systems.

Scope
The program of SASB 2017 will consist of invited talks, presentations of refereed talks, and presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of modeling languages and associated analysis techniques, including static analysis of natural biological systems and the design, specification and verification of engineered biological and chemical systems. This includes, but is not limited to:
- static analysis frameworks and tools,
- equivalences and equivalence checking techniques,
- model reduction and decomposition techniques based on static analysis,
- state space compaction based on static analysis,
- links between topology and dynamics,
- constraint-based and stoichiometric analysis,
- languages for compact description of biological models,
- formalisms for description of biological networks,
- programming languages for molecular devices,
- static analysis in verification of molecular devices design,
- standards for models and their annotation,
- case studies and method applications,
- informal methods (that could be candidate to formalization).

Submission
Full papers should be at most 12 pages, ENTCS format, excluding references. Extended abstracts (for presentation-only submissions) should be at most three pages, excluding references. Please submit on EasyChair here:

Important Dates
Paper and presentation submissions due: July 1, 2017
Paper and presentation notifications: August 2, 2017

Invited Speaker:
Matt Might (pending White House Approval), Strategist in the Executive Office of the President, Director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute (UAB)
