Dear Colleagues,

BioCom2 2012 is an NSF sponsored workshop dedicated to bringing together 
researchers with broad interests in computation and communication in the 
bio-nano world. The initiative seeks to attract a mix of scientists from often 
polarized fields such as Computer Science, Bioengineering, Mathematics, and 
Physics to foster inter-disciplinary discussions and collaborations. The 
workshop is intended to cover four themes:  

 - Engineering synthetic biological circuits with communication interfaces
 - Microbial communication networks
 - Wireless energy transfer at the nano-scale
 - Quantum coherence in biological systems 

The organizing committee is soliciting short white papers for participation in 
the workshop. The workshop will be help in Boston on November 8-9, 2012. 

Attendance will be limited to approximately 30 invited participants. NSF 
funding for the workshop covers travel costs up to $1000 per participant. 
Participants will be selected on the basis of a one-page white paper. The white 
paper should contain: 1) name and affiliation, 2) brief description of the 
candidates expertise and scientific contribution to the workshop; and 3) a 
statement indicating whether NSF travel support is requested or is not 
requested. Please save the white paper as a PDF file using the candidates name 
as the filename,  and e-mail to biocom2works... at gmail.com by August 31. 
Invitations will be issued by September 15th.
