Theme and Scope
The First International Symposium on Optimization and Systems
Biology (OSB 2007), organized by Academy of Mathematics and Systems
Science within Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai University and
The University of Tokyo is held in Beijing, China from August 8 to
10, 2007. The symposium is sponsored by National Natural Science
Foundation of China (NSFC).
Systems Biology has become intensive research topics in the recent
past decade and attracted much attention of scientists in various
areas, such Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science.
Instead of analyzing individual components or aspects of the
organism, systems biology is to study an organism, viewed as a
dynamical and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical
reactions which give rise to life. Many mathematical methods have
been adopted in the field. In particular, optimization and
statistics play a key role in analyzing and understanding biological
mechanisms from system-wide viewpoints. The purpose of OSB 2007 is
to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers,
educators, and practitioners to exchange ideas and approaches, to
present research findings and state-of-the-art solutions in this
interdisciplinary field, including optimization methods and their
applications on various aspects of Systems Biology.
Theme of the OSB 2007 is interdisciplinary and focuses on
computational aspect of Optimization and Computational Systems
Biology. We are particularly interested in submissions for the
research works motivated by biological problems. Typical, but not
exclusive, topics of interest are:
- Optimization Theory & Applications
- Approximation Algorithms
- Combinatorics
- Neural Networks
- Data Mining
- Machine Learning
- High Performance Computing
- Information Theory and Statistical Analysis
- Gene Regulatory Network
- Protein Interaction Network
- Protein Structures and Functions
- Comparative Genomics
- Microbial Community Analysis
- Quantitative Models of Cellular & Multi-Cellular Systems
- Designing and Modeling Synthetic Biological Systems
- Nonlinear Dynamics and Analysis of Biological Systems

Proceeding Papers and Contributing Authors
In Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Optimization
and Systems Biology (OSB 2007), the papers are indexed by ISTP
(Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings).
Fifty three full papers in this volume cover wide range of
optimization and systems biology. Authors of these papers come from
Australia, China mainland, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea,
Thailand, UK, and the United States. Many active researchers in
various areas contributed their overview and introduction in their
fields besides specific deep research achievements. During the
symposium, focusing sessions are organized such as in optimization,
systems biology, bioinformatics, feature selection and extraction,
networks in cellular systems, dynamic of molecular networks, support
vector machine, computational models and algorithms.
OSB 2007 is held in Beijing, the capital of China, a metropolis
mingled with tradition and modernity. We hope all the participants
will enjoy very much not only the academic exchange, but also the
rich cultural heritage of Beijing.
