SUMMARY

Logical models have long been used to explore the dynamical behaviours of regulatory networks.

This workshop will provide an overview of recent methodological developments and applications on the use of the logical formalism for the modelling of regulatory networks.

Relying on a community effort with the Consortium for Logical Models and Tools (CoLoMoTo – http://colomoto.org​) to promote the exchange of models and to improve existing methods, this workshop will cover the following main topics:

  • Computational methods: attractor identification, model-checking, reduction techniques, network inference
  • Modelling tools: GINsim, CellNetOpt, boolSim, MaBoSS, CellCollective, EpiLog
  • Biological applications: signalling networks, cell differentiation, cell reprogramming

The workshop is articulated with a tutorial proposal (Sept 9th, 2018) organized by Tomas Helikar and Juilee Thakar, thereby forming a two-days long SIG meeting devoted to logical modelling of cellular networks.

The workshop day (Sept 8th, 2018) will be split in two sessions: the first session will be dedicated to recent methodological developments, the second session to biological case studies.
Each of these sessions will include one introductory talk.

At the end of the day, a round table with all speakers and the audience will be devoted to global discussions.
