**Aims and Scope**
Synthetic Biology aims to establish a standard and effective biological
design flow, where biological systems are designed and verified
computationally, before in vitro synthesis and in vivo experiments. Each
phase of this process has multiple challenges ranging from managing
high-throughput laboratory operations to developing new software and
defining accurate and interoperable computational models.
The Special Interest Group in Biological Systems Design (BSD-SIG 2012)
aims to provide a broad view of the current state-of-the-art for scientists
from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering.
