The International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) brings together researchers from electronic design automation and synthetic biology. The goal of IWBDA is to make biology more easily, robustly, reliably, and predictably engineered and therefore, tackle challenges in biology and medicine, leading to advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Existing synthetic biology conferences and meetings do not explicitly focus on bridging the gap between the work of experimentalists and computational researchers. Bridging this divide is essential for the field of synthetic biology to fulfill its promise. Furthermore, other venues do not actively include the EDA community, which can bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives to the design of novel biological systems. IWBDA has been held successfully in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 when it was co-located with the largest conference for EDA (the Design Automation Conference; DAC). DAC connected the IWBDA audience to the EDA community of over 10,000 academic and industrial participants. This year, IWBDA will be co-located with the BioBricks Foundation Synthetic Biology Conference Series, SB6.0, and will bring together researchers from the synthetic biology, systems biology, and design automation communities. IWBDA includes keynote and invited talks, tutorials, poster sessions, panel discussions, as well as dedicated time for informal discussions. The intellectual merit of this workshop is a key strength. This workshop will provide a venue for between twelve and fifteen technical talks, four invited lectures, ten to twenty posters, and include an industry/academic panel session. Topics will be diverse and include areas such as: Parts and Standardization, Biological Circuit Simulators, Biological Circuit Design, CAD Tools for Synthetic Biology and Gene Network Reconstruction. No other such workshop exists in Synthetic Biology/EDA. The broader impacts of IWBDA are numerous. A wide variety of researchers (120+) from EDA and synthetic biology will be brought together in a unique context which does not exist elsewhere. IWBDA will capture and make public the slides, posters, and abstracts from the session. In addition, IWBDA will create a user survey which is used to learn more about how workshops like this can better serve the community. Finally, this conference will also have numerous undergraduate, graduate and post graduate student researchers in attendance. IWBDA encourages and supports woman and underrepresented minority student participation and has a diverse technical program and executive committees.

国际生物设计自动化研讨会 (IWBDA) 汇集了来自电子设计自动化和合成生物学的研究人员。 IWBDA 的目标是使生物学设计更加容易、稳健、可靠和可预测，从而应对生物学和医学领域的挑战，从而推动疾病诊断、治疗和预防方面的进步。 现有的合成生物学会议并没有明确关注弥合实验学家和计算研究人员工作之间的差距。弥合这一鸿沟对于合成生物学领域兑现其承诺至关重要。此外，其他场所并没有积极纳入 EDA 社区，而 EDA 社区可以为新型生物系统的设计带来广泛的经验、专业知识和观点。 IWBDA已于2009年、2010年、2011年和2012年成功举办，与最大的EDA会议（设计自动化会议；DAC）同地举办。 DAC 将 IWBDA 受众与由 10,000 多名学术和工业参与者组成的 EDA 社区连接起来。今年，IWBDA 将与 BioBricks 基金会合成生物学会议系列 SB6.0 同期举办，并将汇集来自合成生物学、系统生物学和设计自动化领域的研究人员。 IWBDA 包括主题演讲和邀请演讲、教程、海报会议、小组讨论以及专门的非正式讨论时间。 本次研讨会的智力优势是一个关键优势。该研讨会将为十二到十五场技术讲座、四场邀请讲座、十到二十张海报提供场地，并包括一场行业/学术小组会议。主题多种多样，包括以下领域：零件和标准化、生物电路模拟器、生物电路设计、合成生物学 CAD 工具和基因网络重建。 合成生物学/EDA 领域不存在其他此类研讨会。 IWBDA 的更广泛影响是多方面的。来自 EDA 和合成生物学的各种研究人员（120 多名）将在其他地方不存在的独特环境中聚集在一起。 IWBDA 将捕获并公开会议的幻灯片、海报和摘要。此外，IWBDA 将开展一项用户调查，用于更多地了解此类研讨会如何更好地为社区服务。最后，本次会议还将有众多本科生、研究生和研究生研究人员参加。 IWBDA 鼓励和支持女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生的参与，并拥有多元化的技术计划和执行委员会。
