HSB 2015
The 4th International Workshop on Hybrid Systems Biology
4-5 September 2015, Madrid (Spain)
http://hsb2015.fi.muni.cz
The 4th International Workshop on “Hybrid Systems Biology” will be held on
September 4th and 5th in Madrid (ES), and co-located with the Madrid Meet 2015
(http://mafalda.fdi.ucm.es/madrid2015/), which hosts also CONCUR 2015,
QEST 2015, FORMATS 2015, among other events. Previous editions have been
held in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), Taormina (IT), and Vienna (AT, at VSL 2014).
IMPORTANT DATES.
Abstract Submission: June 8, 2015
Paper Submission: June 15, 2015
Notification: July 15, 2015
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS. We solicit high-quality submissions, to be
refereed by the Program Committee below, and to be published as Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) with Springer Verlag. Selected articles might
be invited for a special issue in a high-quality journal (under negotiation).
Submitted papers will describe original work that has not been previously published and is not under review for publication elsewhere. We accept the following
two types of submission:
• full papers (max 15 pages LNCS Springer Verlag style)
• short papers, including work in progress and tool papers (max 6 pages
LNCS Springer Verlag style)
PUBLICATION FORMS and PAPER SUBMISSION. Papers should be
written in English, fit the length limitations above, inclusive of references, and have
to be formatted in LNCS style. Additional material may be included in a clearly
marked appendix but will not necessarily undergo review and will not be included
in the published version. Papers need to be submitted electronically as PDF files
via EasyChair online submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/
?conf=hsb2015).

TOPICS OF INTEREST. The scope of the HSB workshop covers the general
area of dynamical models in Biology with an emphasis on hybrid approaches
– by no means restricted to a narrow class of mathematical models – and taking
advantage of techniques developed separately in different areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Models of metabolic, signalling, and genetic regulatory networks
• Models of tissues, organs; physiological models
• Biological applications of quantitative and formal analysis techniques
• Parametric and non-parametric system identification techniques
• Efficient techniques for combined and heterogeneous simulations for biological models
• Modelling languages for biological systems
• Models coping with incomplete and uncertain information
• Stochastic hybrid models in biology
• Hierarchical systems for multi-scale, multi-domain analysis
• Abstraction, approximation, discretisation, and model reduction techniques
• Game-theoretical frameworks in biology (e.g., populations dynamics)
• Control architectures of biological systems
• Modelling and synthesis for synthetic biology
