Declarative Programming in Biology and Medicine (“DeclMed”) is a new interdisciplinary workshop that will explore declarative programming methods / paradigms and their applications in the life sciences and medicine. Given promising advances in using declarative approaches in areas such as precision medicine, bioinformatics, graph querying, modeling, and DNA computing, this workshop aims to advance the use of declarative approaches to solve complex problems in biology or medicine. The workshop will solicit abstracts, papers, tutorials, and presentations (including lightning talks). The two main goals of the workshop are to (1) share and explore new techniques and ideas; and (2) bring together researchers and practitioners from the declarative programming communities with practitioners in precision medicine, bioinformatics, and biomodeling.
