The Fifth International Workshop on Computational Network Biology: Modeling, Analysis, and Control (CNB-MAC 2018) will be held in Washington, D.C., August 29, 2018. The workshop will be organized in conjunction with the 9th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB 2018). CNB-MAC 2018 is a continuation of the first, second, third and fourth CNB-MAC workshops in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, which have been successfully organized in conjunction with ACM-BCB 2014 (in Newport Beach, CA), ACM-BCB 2015 (in Atlanta, GA), ACM-BCB 2016 (in Seattle, WA) and ACM-BCB 2017 (in Boston, MA) 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. This project will provide travel support for eight graduate students to attend CNB-MAC 2018, present their latest research findings, and actively engage in interactions with other researchers in the field.CNB-MAC 2018 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 research talks to provide future research directions for participating graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, especially women and minorities. Utilizing this award, CNB-MAC 2018 will provide travel awards to encourage graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the workshop and present their latest research findings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第五届计算网络生物学国际研讨会：建模、分析与控制（CNB-MAC 2018）将在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行，2018年8月29日。该研讨会将与第九届计算机协会（ACM）生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学会议（ACM-BCB 2018）一起组织。CNB-MAC 2018是2014年，2015年，2016年和2017年第一，第二，第三和第四届CNB-MAC研讨会的延续，这些研讨会已与ACM-BCB 2014一起成功举办（在纽波特海滩，CA），ACM-BCB 2015（在亚特兰大，GA），ACM-BCB 2016（在西雅图，WA）和ACM-BCB 2017（在波士顿，MA）。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，生物学和医学等各个学科的研究人员。该项目将为八名研究生提供旅行支持，参加CNB-MAC 2018，展示他们的最新研究成果，并积极参与与该领域其他研究人员的互动。CNB-MAC 2018旨在提供一个国际科学论坛，展示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。该讲习班旨在提供研究讲座，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。利用该奖项，CNB-MAC 2018将提供旅行奖励，以鼓励研究生和本科生参加研讨会并展示他们的最新研究成果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
