Introduction

The International Workshop on Computational Systems Biology (WCSB) aims at bringing together the various communities involved in the different aspects of computational systems biology research, e.g. experimental biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, signal processing, mathematics, statistics, and theoretical physics. The scientific program includes keynote lectures, invited talks as well as regular sessions with contributed research talks and posters.
