The International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) brings together researchers from electronic design automation (the practice of using computer software to build complex electronics) and synthetic biology (the forward design of novel biological systems using engineering principles). 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 Electronic Design Automation (EDA) community, which can bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives to the design of novel biological systems. 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, Computer-Aided Design 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. The organizers will capture and make public the slides, posters, and abstracts from the session. They encourage and support woman and underrepresented minority student participation and have a diverse technical program and executive committees. A user survey is planned which will be used to learn more about how workshops like this can better serve the community.

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（使用计算机软件构建复杂电子产品的实践）和合成生物学（利用工程原理对新型生物系统进行正向设计）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电子设计自动化 (EDA) 社区，而电子设计自动化 (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 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、合成生物学计算机辅助设计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。组织者将捕获并公开会议的幻灯片、海报和摘要。他们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。计划进行用户调查，以更多地了解此类研讨会如何更好地为社区服务。
