Preface

This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB) held in October 2008 in Rostock/ Warnem¨ unde. The CMSB conference series was established in 2003 to promote the convergence of (1) modelers, physicists, mathematicians, and theoretical computer scientists from fields such as language design, concurrency theory, software verification, and (2) molecular biologists, physicians, neuroscientists joined by their interest in a systems-level understanding of cellular physiology and pathology. Since this time, the conference has taken place annually. The conference has been held in Italy, France, and the UK, and we were glad to host CMSB in Germany for the first time. The summaries of the invited talks by Hidde de Jong, Jane Hillston, Koichi Takahashi, Nicolas Le Novere, and Dieter Oesterhelt are included at the beginning of the proceedings. The 21 regular papers cover theoretical or applied contributions that a
