Dear all,
The CNS program committee hereby requests proposals from candidate local
organizers to organize CNS*2004. After the highly successful 2002 meeting
in Chicago, Il, CNS will be held in Alicante, Spain in 2003 and then return
to North America in 2004.
Candidates should send in a short proposal (max 1 page) including details
like: proposed period (best in July, some notes on usual weather in that
period), proposed conference site (including short description of plus and
minus points + estimate of cost; should have seating place for ~500 people),
proposed accommodations (including short description of plus and minus
points + estimate of rates, special student accommodation?), transport
situation, general attractions of the place + possible locations for banquet
and/or rock-n-roll party.
The Executive committee together with the program committee will select the
two most promising sites and ask them to submit a full proposal (including
guaranteed costs, etc.) before making a final selection.
Deadline for short proposal: Nov 30th. Proposals should be e-mailed to
Christiane Linster (CL243@cornell.edu)
Selected proposals will be contacted before Christmas.
Best regards,
Christiane Linster (President)
Todd Troyer (Vice-President)
Erik DeSchutter (Secretary)

> Time is the final frontier in biology and uncovering molecular and
cellular
> mechanisms in cells that keep time is essential to understanding
biological
> systems. Biological clocks cover a wide range of time scales, from the
> heartbeat to circadian rhythms. In each of these systems, molecular
mechanisms
> are being uncovered that underlie these rhythms and stabilize them, but
the
> number of molecules and the complexity of their interactions are daunting.
> There is growing interest in applying computational models to these
biological
> systems. This symposium brings together some of the leading computational
model
> builders and key researchers studying the circadian clock, photoperiodism
in
> plants, the cell cycle in yeast, cardiac rhythms, brain rhythms that occur
> during sleep and firefly synchronization. The mathematical principles that
> emerge from the models highlight deep similarities that exist between
these
> diverse systems, and allow a broader understanding to emerge for how
biological
> systems organize time in robust and effective ways.
