International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA)

2017年第九届生物设计自动化国际研讨会（IWBDA）将汇集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。IWBDA 2017将在匹兹堡举行。预计来自30多所美国和国际大学的参与者将参加此次研讨会。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。 该研讨会将在两天内提供12至15次技术会谈的场所。这些演讲是从两页的扩展摘要中选出的，这些摘要后来被存档。此外，将有两个邀请讲座，10到20海报，多个小组讨论会，和一个特色的学生编程比赛（BDathlon）。技术主题将是多样化的，包括以下领域：零件和标准化，生物电路模拟器，生物电路设计，合成生物学和基因网络重建的CAD工具。

The 9th International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) 2017 will bring 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. IWBDA 2017 will take place in Pittsburgh PA. Participants from more than 30 different US and international universities are expected to attend this workshop. 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. This workshop will provide a venue for between twelve and fifteen technical talks over two days. These talks are chosen from two page extended abstracts which are later archived. In addition, there will be two invited lectures, ten to twenty posters, multiple group discussion sessions, and a featured student programming competition (BDAthlon). Technical 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.
