Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics

This CCIS volume constitutes the proceedings of the First International Conference on Computational Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (CSBio 2010), held in Bangkok, Thailand, November 3-5, 2010. CSBio 2010 was a follow up to the successful Special th Session on Computational Advances in Bioinformatics (CAB 2009) in the 16 International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP 2009). CSBio will provide an annual forum for international researchers to exchange the latest ideas on advances in the interdisciplinary fields of computational systems biology and bioinformatics. CSBio is proposed to be hosted alternately by King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Thailand, and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The School of Information Technology (SIT) at KMUTT was the proud host of CSBio 2010. This inaugural conference was launched th th to coincide with the 15 anniversary of SIT and the 50 anniversary of KMUTT. CSBio 2010 accepted 19 regular session papers from a total of 48 submissions received on the EasyChair conference system. The authors of the submitted papers covered 16 countries worldwide and there were over 60 authors in the conference proceedings. The technical sessions were divided into five topical categories. Technical highlights included a keynote speech by Michael Brudno (Canada Research Chair in Computational Biology) and plenary talks by Nikhil R. Pal, Sung-Bae Cho, Yaochu Jin, and David W. Ussery. In addition, three tutorials by Kwoh Chee Keong, Stijn Meganck and Philip Shaw were included with CSBio 2010 registration.
