**Aims and Scope**

The complexity of the genomic structure and our limited understanding

of biological processes require new computational methods to investigate

the huge number of possible designs for circuits, pathways, and entire

genomes, with the ideal being the ability to model, simulate and

redesign a biological system in-silicon prior to fabrication, similar to

CAD/CAM for physical devices.

Synthetic Biology aims to establish a standard and effective biological

design flow, where biological systems are designed and verified computationally,

before in vitro synthesis and in vivo experiments. Each phase of this

process has multiple challenges ranging from managing high-throughput

laboratory operations to developing new software and defining accurate and

interoperable computational models.

The Special Interest Group in Biological Systems Design (BSD-SIG 2012)

aims to provide a broad view of the current state-of-the-art for scientists

from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering.

**Sessions**

- Genome Design

- Protein Design

- Computer Aided Design Tools

- Data management & standards

**Submissions**

We encourage submissions in the form of oral and poster presentation;

authors must submit a 1 page abstract specifying the track and the form

of the contribution.

Contributions must be submitted through EasyChair:
