From July 18 – 22, 2011, mathematical scientists from around the world will gather in Vancouver, BC, Canada for the 7th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics - ICIAM 2011.
ICIAM 2011 will highlight the most recent advances in the discipline and demonstrate their applicability to science, engineering and industry. In addition to the traditional, strong focus on applied mathematics, the congress will emphasize industrial applications and computational science. Industrial mathematics will be featured prominently through an integrated program which will highlight the many outstanding contributions of applied mathematics. ICIAM 2011 will also be an opportunity to demonstrate to young researchers and graduate students the vast potential of mathematics.
The Congress is being planned by the Canadian Applied & Industrial Mathematics Society (CAIMS), the Mathematics of Information Technology & Complex Systems (MITACS) and the Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

The joint
triennial meeting of
the European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology
and
annual meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology
will be held in
Kraków, June 28 - July 2, 2011.
Call for abstracts and minisymposia
Minisymposium proposals are solicited. Each minisymposium should be
organized in a block of 2 hours, each of which consists of five
talks. (Example: One 40-min lecture and four 20-min communications).
We also solicit contributed talks and posters. Titles and abstracts should
be submitted via the conference website. All submitted abstracts will be
evaluated by the Scientific Committee. Approved talks will either be a
20-min communication or a contributed lecture of 30 or 40 min.

The past decade has seen an exponential growth in genome-wide data measuring diverse cellular parameters, such as TF binding, gene expression, translation, protein abundance, protein-protein interactions, and genetic phenotypic interaction. In order to gain a systems level understanding of a given process, cell or organism, the current challenge is to convert these static qualitative maps into dynamic quantitative models of cellular processes. This rather daunting task can only be achieved through a multidisciplinary approach, which requires intensive integration of technology and thinking from many diverse fields, including basic biology, genomics, computational biology, mathematics, engineering and physics. The main objective of this conference is to bring people together from these diverse disciplines to exchange ideas, promote cross-disciplinary collaborations and to form a synthesis of appropriate systems-level approaches. The meeting will cover all aspects of functional genomic approaches to systems biology, going from the genome to phenotype. These include transcriptional networks, protein interaction networks, functional interaction networks (synthetic lethal screens, genetics, RNAi), synthetic biology, multi-dimensional data integration and qualitative and quantitative modelling. This broad scope has been the format of this meeting every since it was initiated in 2002. The meeting has since been held every two-years, with the 2010 meeting being the fifth biennial meeting.
Registration and abstract deadline: 15 August 2010

In cooperation with ACM – Association for Computing Machinery.
The 8th Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB 2010) will be organized in Trento (Italy) by CoSBi (The Microsoft Research - University of Trento Centre for Computational and Systems Biology) on September 29 - October 1, 2010.
CMSB 2010 solicits innovative research papers focussing on the dynamics and on the analysis of biological systems, networks, and data. The Conference brings together computer scientists, biologists, mathematicians, engineers, and physicists interested in a system-level understanding of biological systems. CMSB 2010 invites submissions of both papers and posters covering a broad range of research in systems biology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: original models or paradigms for modelling biological processes together with their application domains; frameworks and techniques for verifying, validating, analyzing, and simulating biological systems; inference from high-throughput experimental data; model integration from biological databases. Contributions on modelling and analysis of relevant biological case studies are especially encouraged.
