International Workshop on Computational Network Biology: Modeling, Analysis, and Control (CNB-MAC 2016)

第三届计算网络生物学研讨会：建模，分析和控制（CNB-MAC 2016）将于10月2日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。该研讨会将与第七届ACM生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学会议（ACM-BCB 2016）一起举办。CNB-MAC 2016是2014年和2015年第一次和第二次CNB-MAC研讨会的延续，这两次研讨会分别与ACM-BCB 2014（加利福尼亚州纽波特海滩）和ACM-BCB 2015（佐治亚州亚特兰大）成功举办。与ACM-BCB的持续合作将提高研讨会的知名度，并吸引来自工程，计算机科学，统计学，生物学，和医药。CNB-MAC 2016旨在提供一个国际科学论坛，介绍计算网络生物学的最新进展，并提高人们对严格数学建模在将大生物医学数据转化为可重复和可扩展的生物医学数据方面的重要性的认识。有意义的科学知识。CNB-MAC最重要的使命之一是培养计算网络生物学新兴领域的下一代科学家。该研讨会旨在提供主题演讲，辅导和研究讲座，为参与的研究生和博士后研究人员，特别是妇女和少数民族提供未来的研究方向。CNB-MAC 2016将提供旅行奖励，以鼓励研究生参加研讨会并展示他们的最新研究成果。具体而言，讲习班计划将至少20-30%的奖金分配给女学生和少数民族学生，以鼓励她们参与。

The Third Workshop on Computational Network Biology: Modeling, Analysis, and Control (CNB-MAC 2016) will be held in Seattle, WA, October 2. The workshop will be organized in conjunction with the 7th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB 2016). CNB-MAC 2016 is a continuation of the first and second CNB-MAC workshops in 2014 and 2015, which have been successfully organized in conjunction with ACM-BCB 2014 (in Newport Beach, CA) and ACM-BCB 2015 (in Atlanta, GA), respectively. The continuing partnership with ACM-BCB will enhance the visibility of the workshop and attract researchers from various disciplines across engineering, computer science, statistics, biology, and medicine.CNB-MAC 2016 aims to provide an international scientific forum for presenting recent advances in computational network biology and boost the awareness of the importance of rigorous mathematical modeling in transforming big biomedical data into reproducible and meaningful scientific knowledge. One of the missions of CNB-MAC that is of foremost importance is to foster next-generation scientists in the emerging field of computational network biology. The workshop aims to offer keynote, tutorial, and research talks to provide future research directions for participating graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, especially women and minorities. CNB-MAC 2016 will provide travel awards to encourage graduate students to participate in the workshop and present their latest research findings. Specifically, the workshop plans to allocate a minimum of 20-30% of the awards to female and minority students to encourage their participation.
