Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York
December 10-13, 2008
There are two key ideas behind this meeting: that theoretical engineering principles that have been developed in the context of human engineered systems are useful in understanding biological function, and that these principles apply across scales, from the cellular to the organism level. In keeping with these ideas, we hope to attract researchers in fields ranging from bacterial systems biology to neural systems, with shared interest in engineering principles. Sessions will be broken up according to broad areas of engineering, and there will also be a session on evolution. Topics include but not limited to:
• Engineering Principles: From Bacterial & Biochemical Systems to Neural Systems
• Dynamics, Feedback & Control I • Dynamics, Feedback & Control II
• Game Theory & Learning • Evolution & Synthetic Biology
• Signaling & Communications The format of the meeting will include seven oral sessions consisting of invited and short talks, chosen from the submitted abstracts, and one poster session. All speakers and chairs are strongly encouraged to stay for the entire meeting. The organizers will decide the suitability of each abstract for oral or poster presentation, but please specify if you prefer a poster.
