ISMB 99 Theme and scope
|
The ISMB conference provides a general forum for disseminating
the latest developments in bioinformatics. ISMB was created in
1993 as what we believe was the first truly multidisciplinary
conference series that brings together scientists from computer
science, molecular biology, mathematics and statistics. Its scope
includes the development and application of advanced computational
methods for biological problems. Relevant computational techniques
include, but are not limited to: machine learning, pattern recognition,
knowledge representation, databases, combinatorics, stochastic
modeling, string and graph algorithms, linguistic methods, robotics,
constraint satisfaction, and parallel computation. Biological
areas of interest include biomolecular structure, genomics, biomolecular
sequence analysis, evolution and phylogenetics, biomolecular interactions,
metabolic pathways, regulatory networks, developmental control,
and molecular biology generally. Emphasis is placed on the validation
of methods using real data sets, on practical applications in
the biological sciences, and on development of novel computational
techniques. |
