Call For Papers - CFP

Still in its early stages, the field of synthetic biology has been driven by experimental expertise; much of its success can be attributed to the skill of the researchers in specific domains of biology. There has been a concerted effort to assemble repositories of standardized components. However, creating and integrating synthetic components remains an ad hoc process. The field has now reached a stage where it calls for computer-aided design tools. The electronic design automation (EDA) community has unique expertise to contribute to this endeavor. This workshop offers a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion, with the aim of seeding collaboration between the research communities.

Topics of interest include:

Design methodologies for synthetic biology.

Standardization of biological components.

Automated assembly techniques.

Computer-aided modeling and abstraction techniques.

Engineering methods inspired by biology.

Domain specific languages for synthetic biology.

Data exchange standards and models for synthetic biology.
