Computational Methods in Systems Biology 11th International Conference, CMSB 2013, Klosterneuburg, Austria, September 22-24, 2013, Proceedings

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, CMSB 2013, held in Klosterneuburg, Austria, in September 2013. The 15 regular papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. They deal with computational models for all levels, from molecular and cellular, to organs and entire organisms.
