The First SICSA Workshop on Biological Networks took place in Edinburgh on 8 October 2010, bringing together scientists across Scotland from different backgrounds with an interest in biological networks. With a programme of short presentations and break-out discussions, the aim was to provide an opportunity for researchers from informatics, biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry and other related disciplines to discuss current activities, progress and research opportunities in the area of computational and mathematical analysis of biological networks.
A workshop report, which includes a summary of the discussion session, is now available for download: Report
