The 2nd Franco-Japanese Symposium on Knowledge Discovery in Systems
Biology (FJ'08)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2nd Franco-Japanese Symposium on Knowledge Discovery in Systems Biology (FJ'08) will be held in Hida-Takayama, Japan, during October 30th, 31st, November 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

The symposium covers three theoretical research areas: knowledge representation in biological systems, modeling by logical inferences, prediction of biological behavior. This research has been applied to metabolic pathways of yeast/E-coli and recently to decision of therapy in breast cancer. The results will bring new hints to knowledge discovery in biological systems modeling and analysis.

The goal of this second symposium is to analyze the results and to decide the research strategy for the second period of the project JST-CNRS.

This symposium is sponsored by LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France and National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan, as a part of: the JST-CNRS Strategic International Cooperative Program between France and Japan "Knowledge-based Discovery in Systems Biology".
