The importance of the system-level understanding of biological systems is receiving increasing recognition recently. Nevertheless, the efforts are still sporadic and there is no conference specifically focused on this topic. While there are conferences on bioinformatics, the threads of these conferences are the use of computers in various aspects of biology, and not necessarily viewed from the system-level perspectives. Thus, these conferences cover broadly from sequence database, protein structures to gene networks, and less emphasis on the system-level understanding. Therefore, the goal of the conference is to create a forum of discussion for those who are interested in system-level understanding from various approaches for various biological systems, so that such efforts can form a coherent landscape. Systems Biology that focuses on system level understanding can be a major thrust in biology in the 21st century. A book based on this conference will be published from The MIT Press, Springer. ---Program--- [Keynote Speech] Hiroaki Kitano (Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc., Japan) [Plenary Invited Talk: Genome Project and the Future Medicine] Yusuke Nakamura (Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo, Japan) [Session: Software Platform and Data Resources] -The ERATO Systems Biology Workbench: An integrated environment for multi-scale and multi-theoretic simulations of molecular biology Hamid Bolouri (ERATO Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project/Caltech and University of Hertfordshire, UK) -E-CELL Project: Towards Whole Cell Simulation Masaru Tomita (Laboratory for Bioinformatics, Keio University, Japan) -Tools for simulating large biological systems - the need for optimization Pedro Mendes (Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, USA) -Stochastic modeling and simulation of cell signaling using StochSim Tom Shimizu (Cambridge University, UK) -Towards a virtual biological laboratory E.
