Computational science stands at the forefront of biological modeling and simulation. The challenges in this field are two-fold. First, biological computational science is obliged to use high-performance computers and advanced visualization to explore ever increasingly complex systems and datasets. Second, validation of theory with experiment is exceptionally critical in this new field. The Computational Sciences Center (CSC) is supporting the NREL Computational Sciences Workshop (NCS 2004) on Computational Biology to facilitate understanding and enhancement of the capabilities of computational science in research as well as the needs of the more traditional methods of scientific investigation, theory and experiment. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from scientific areas studying biological systems to discuss problems and potential solutions, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research. There are four technical sessions. Topics include: (1) Simulation and Modeling in Biomass Conversion; (2) Simulation and Modeling in Photobiology; (3) Bioinformatics for Renewable Energy; and (4) Modeling Hard- Soft-Matter Interfaces.
