CCB: CCB/SIAM Symposium on Computational Science and Biology: The Challenges, Data, Methods and Tools

General

• Conference Site: http://www.siam.org/meetings/is08/
• Place: July 07-11, 2008, Town & Country Resourt and COnvention Center, San Diego, CA, USA
• Sponsored by CCB

Description

This special session on computational science will discuss the modern challenges, algorithms, datasets, discrete and analytical models and software tools for addressing varieties of problems arising in biomedicine, computational biology, engineering and social research. The goal of the session is to build bridges between existent imaging, physics, mathematics and statistics-based techniques and provide the infrastructure for data, models and software exchange between different computational science areas. Such interdisciplinary efforts will reduce redundancies in model and tool developments, significantly improve the validation of models and software tools and provide the framework for development of new computational meta-algorithms and elaborate integrated software resources.

Speakers (TBD)

• YonggangShi, Dan Huttenlocher, Washington Mio (Computational Analysis of Biological Shapes Within a Riemannian Framework), Bernard Chazelle, François Meyer, Jerry Prince, Laurent Younes, Rachid Deriche, Mona Singh, Thomas A. Funkhouser.
