The Workshop on Statistical Systems Biology will call for contributions in the form of paper submissions, spoken presentations and posters.

In partnership with Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology (SAGMB; De Gruyter) we are soliciting high-quality research articles for joint journal submission and presentation at the workshop.

For submitted papers, a selection committee will initially assess whether the paper falls within the broad remit of SAGMB. Selection will be based on the abstract only, so it is important that the abstract is well-written. It is possible that a paper will be highly relevant to the workshop whilst not falling in the remit of SAGMB; in this case the abstract will be considered for a contributed presentation only.

Abstracts that are deemed to fall within the broad remit of SAGMB will then be invited to submit the full paper for consideration at the journal. The journal will then handle author correspondance until a final decision is made. It is crucial that you indicate in the cover letter that the paper is being submitted in conjunction with the SSB workshop, else the reviewing process is not guaranteed to complete on schedule.

Important dates:

• Deadline for submission of paper abstracts (through this website): Saturday 20th September 2014
• Initial filter decision available (based on abstract only): Saturday 27th September 2014
• Deadline for submission of full paper (through the SAGMB website): Thursday 2nd October 2014
• Initial reviews available for papers: Saturday 8st November 2014
• Submission of revised papers: Sunday 23rd November 2014 [this may be flexible]
• Final notification for papers: Monday 1st December 2014 [this may be flexible]

Abstracts should not exceed one side of A4 and should not contain figures. Please include the names and affiliations of all co-authors.

• Deadline for submission of presentation abstracts (through this website): Saturday 1st November 2014
• Notification deadline for presentations: Saturday 8th November 2014
