The First Workshop on Modeling of Biological Systems (MoBS) focuses on computational methods and software tools for modeling and analysis of biological systems. It will bring together researchers from computational systems biology and design automation communities. The goal of MoBS is to create an environment where different types of researchers interact and start fruitful collaborations. Co-locating MoBS with Design Automation Conference (DAC) provides means to fulfill this goal. For biologists, this workshop is an opportunity to showcase their work to an entirely new audience and gain exposure to a new talent pool of potential postdocs and graduate students. For electronic design automation (EDA) experts, this workshop provides an excellent opportunity to explore challenges in biology and medical research, and recognize potential for new collaborations and novel applications of methods and techniques they are familiar with. Existing systems biology conferences and meetings do not actively include the EDA community, which can bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives to the modeling and analysis of novel biological systems. MoBS allow the EDA community to interact with and learn from leaders in systems biology. A number of academic leaders in systems biology are featured speakers of MoBS. This workshop will provide a venue for fifteen technical talks, among them four keynote talks, five invited lectures, and six contributed talks, as well as ten to fifteen posters. Topics of the workshop are diverse and include areas such as: biological network inference, CAD and visualization of biological systems, data-mining for bio and health-care systems, hybrid methods for bio-system simulation, bio-model validation and verification, sensitivity analysis for biological systems and much more. A wide variety of researchers from EDA and computational systems biology are brought together in a unique context, which is not provided at other conferences. The slides, posters, and abstracts from the workshop will be made public on the workshop website. Finally, MoBS will have numerous undergraduate, graduate and post graduate student researchers in attendance. The organizing committee encourages and supports woman and underrepresented minority student participation, and has planned a diverse technical program.

第一届生物系统建模研讨会（MoBS）重点关注生物系统建模和分析的计算方法和软件工具。它将汇集来自计算系统生物学和设计自动化社区的研究人员。 MoBS 的目标是创造一个让不同类型的研究人员互动并开展富有成效的合作的环境。将 MoBS 与设计自动化会议 (DAC) 放在一起提供了实现这一目标的方法。对于生物学家来说，这次研讨会是一个向全新受众展示他们的工作并接触潜在博士后和研究生的新人才库的机会。对于电子设计自动化 (EDA) 专家来说，本次研讨会提供了一个绝佳的机会来探索生物学和医学研究中的挑战，并认识到他们熟悉的方法和技术的新合作和新颖应用的潜力。 现有的系统生物学大会和会议并未积极纳入 EDA 社区，而 EDA 社区可以为新型生物系统的建模和分析带来广泛的经验、专业知识和观点。 MoBS 允许 EDA 社区与系统生物学领域的领导者互动并向他们学习。许多系统生物学领域的学术领袖都是 MoBS 的特邀演讲者。 本次研讨会将提供十五场技术讲座的场地，其中四场主题演讲、五场特邀演讲和六场贡献演讲，以及十到十五张海报。研讨会的主题多种多样，包括以下领域：生物网络推理、生物系统的 CAD 和可视化、生物和医疗保健系统的数据挖掘、生物系统模拟的混合方法、生物模型验证和验证、灵敏度生物系统分析等等。来自 EDA 和计算系统生物学的各种各样的研究人员聚集在一个独特的环境中，这是其他会议所没有的。研讨会的幻灯片、海报和摘要将在研讨会网站上公开。最后，MoBS 将有众多本科生、研究生和研究生研究人员出席。组委会鼓励和支持女性和少数族裔学生的参与，并计划了多样化的技术项目。
