Call for participation for two events connecting computer science and
biology, 
in conjunction with Formal Methods 2009:

1. Tutorial on Computational Systems Biology
	Eindhoven, the Netherlands, November 2, 2009
	http://combio.abo.fi/tcsb09/ 
	Registration deadline: October 16, 2009

2. Second International Workshop on Computational Models for Cell Processes
           Eindhoven, the Netherlands, November 3, 2009
           http://combio.abo.fi/compmod09/
	Registration deadline: October 19, 2009


1. Tutorial on Computational Systems Biology (November 2, 2009, full day
event)
--------------------------------------------
- Lecturers: Ion Petre and Ralph-Johan Back, Abo Akademi University, Finland

- Content: This one-day tutorial provides an introduction to computational 
systems biology, starting with a crash course on molecular biology for 
computer scientist and continuing with discrete, continuous and stochastic 
modeling techniques, as well as formal methods-based approaches. A 
demonstration is included on Copasi (Complex Pathway Simulator), a useful 
tool for modeling and simulating sysbio projects. The well-known heat 
shock response, that the lecturers and their research groups have been 
working on already for some years, will serve as a running example 
connecting the various topics.

- Registration deadline: October 16, 2009

2. Workshop on Computational Models for Cell Processes (November 3, 2009)
------------------------------------------------------

FOCUS
-----
Computational systems biology is an exciting new application area for
applied mathematics and computer science. This workshop of the 16th
