The International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) brings together researchers from electronic design automation (the practice of using computer software to build complex electronics) and synthetic biology (the forward design of novel biological systems using engineering principles). The goal of IWBDA is to make biology more easily, robustly, reliably, and predictably engineered and therefore, tackle challenges in biology and medicine, leading to advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Existing synthetic biology conferences and meetings do not explicitly focus on bridging the gap between the work of experimentalists and computational researchers. Bridging this divide is essential for the field of synthetic biology to fulfill its promise. Furthermore, other venues do not actively include the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) community, which can bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives to the design of novel biological systems. IWBDA includes keynote and invited talks, tutorials, poster sessions, panel discussions, as well as dedicated time for informal discussions. NSF support ensures a technical and diverse set of undergraduate, graduate, and post doctoral students can attend the conference to present research, learn more about the field, and expand their networking opportunities. The intellectual merit of this workshop is a key strength. This workshop will provide a venue for between twelve and fifteen technical talks, four invited lectures, ten to twenty posters, and include an industry/academic panel session. Topics will be diverse and include areas such as: Parts and Standardization, Biological Circuit Simulators, Biological Circuit Design, CAD Tools for Synthetic Biology and Gene Network Reconstruction. No other such workshop exists in Synthetic Biology/EDA. The broader impacts of IWBDA are numerous. A wide variety of researchers (120+) from EDA and synthetic biology will be brought together in a unique context which does not exist elsewhere. IWBDA will capture and make public the slides, posters, and abstracts from the session. In addition, a user survey will be created to learn more about how workshops like this can better serve the community. Finally, there will be numerous undergraduate, graduate and post graduate student researchers in attendance. IWBDA encourages and supports woman and underrepresented minority student participation and has a diverse technical program and executive committees.

生物设计自动化国际研讨会（IWBDA）汇集了来自电子设计自动化（使用计算机软件构建复杂电子产品的实践）和合成生物学（使用工程原理对新型生物系统进行正向设计）的研究人员。IWBDA的目标是使生物学更容易，更强大，更可靠，更可预测地工程化，从而应对生物学和医学的挑战，从而推动疾病诊断，治疗和预防的进步。 现有的合成生物学会议并没有明确地关注弥合实验学家和计算研究人员工作之间的差距。弥合这一鸿沟对于合成生物学领域实现其承诺至关重要。此外，其他场地不积极包括电子设计自动化（EDA）社区，这可以为新型生物系统的设计带来广泛的经验，专业知识和观点。IWBDA包括主题演讲和特邀演讲，教程，海报会议，小组讨论，以及专门的非正式讨论时间。 NSF的支持确保了技术和多样化的本科生，研究生和博士后学生可以参加会议，展示研究成果，了解更多有关该领域的信息，并扩大他们的网络机会。这个研讨会的知识价值是一个关键的优势。该研讨会将提供12至15场技术讲座，4场特邀讲座，10至20张海报，并包括一个行业/学术小组会议。主题将是多样化的，包括领域，如：零件和标准化，生物电路模拟器，生物电路设计，CAD工具合成生物学和基因网络重建。 在合成生物学/EDA中没有其他这样的研讨会。IWBDA的广泛影响是多方面的。来自EDA和合成生物学的各种各样的研究人员（120+）将聚集在一个独特的背景下，这在其他地方是不存在的。IWBDA将收集并公布会议的幻灯片、海报和摘要。此外，将创建一个用户调查，以了解更多关于如何像这样的研讨会可以更好地服务于社区。最后，将有许多本科生，研究生和研究生研究人员出席。IWBDA鼓励和支持妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生参与，并有一个多样化的技术方案和执行委员会。
