**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.
