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.
