Subject: BDA 2023 – call for presentations ======================================================= The 9th Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2023) June 6, 2023. Orlando, Florida. In conjunction withPODC <https://www.podc.org/about/>and collocated withFCRC <https://fcrc.acm.org/>(in particularSTOC <http://acm-stoc.org/stoc2023/>andSPAA <https://spaa.acm.org/>). https://sites.google.com/view/bda23/ <https://sites.google.com/view/bda23/> ======================================================= We are excited to announce the 9th workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA). The aim of the workshop is to foster and support collaborative research between biologists and distributed-computing theory researchers. Such research can lead to a better understanding of the behavior of the biological systems while at the same time developing novel algorithms that can be used to solve basic distributed-computing problems. We invite presentations related to any biological system, but we are particularly focused on relationships between distributed computing and distributed biological systems (including the analysis and case studies that combine the two). =========== SUBMISSIONS =========== We solicit submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results relevant to biological distributed computing. We especially welcome extended abstracts describing new insights and/or case studies regarding the relationship between distributed computing and biological systems even if these are not fully formed. Because a major goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and approaches, we especially encourage the submission of ongoing work. Selected contributors would be asked to present, discuss, and defend their work at the workshop. Submissions should be in PDF and include title, author information, and a 4-page extended abstract. Shorter submissions are also welcome. The workshop will not include published proceedings. Furthermore, we welcome submissions of extended abstracts describing work that has appeared or is expected to appear in other venues (or is still a preliminary work in progress). Accepted papers will have the opportunity to be submitted for expedited review to theJournal of Computational Biology <https://home.liebertpub.com/publications/journal-of-computational-biology/31>after the workshop has concluded. Extended abstracts should be submitted through Oxford Abstracts at the following link: https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/5932/submitter <https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/5932/submitter> =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== 07 April 2023 — Extended abstract submission deadline 04 May 2023 – Decision notifications 23 June 2023 – Workshop =============== FINANCIAL SUPPORT =============== Depending on the number of accepted submissions, financial support may be available to subsidise the cost of PODC workshop registration fees for presenters. ========================= INVITED SPEAKERS [more to come] ========================= TBC ================= WORKSHOP CHAIRS ================= Arjun Chandrasekhar - Southwestern University Frederik Mallmann-Trenn - King's College London Yannic Maus - TU Graz Ted Pavlic - Arizona State University ================= PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= Ziv Bar-Joseph - CMU Anna Dornhaus - University of Arizona Joshua Daymude - Arizona State University Yuval Emek - Technion Amos Korman - CNRS and University of Paris Diderot Nancy Lynch - MIT Melanie Moses, University of New Mexico Saket Navlakha - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ############################ Unsubscribe: [log in to unmask] If you don't already have a password for the LISTSERV.ACM.ORG server, we recommend that you create one now.
