Research Paper Track on Bioinformatics 16th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC2001) March 11-14, 2001 Las Vegas, Nevada USA The explosion of data generated by recent developments in molecular biology and genomics has produced computational challenges which represent collaborative research opportunities for computer scientists. The primary aim of this track is to attract papers that address these challenges relative to a variety of problems and techniques and hence to showcase the spectrum of current computational application within biology; as such, paper topics of interest include the whole of bioinformatics and computational biology. Papers authored or co-authored by students are of particular interest. As this is the first-ever research track in bioinformatics at SAC, a special feature of this track will be a series of associated events at SAC2001 sponsored by ACM SIGBIO (Special Interest Group on Biomedical Computing): * A keynote lecture by Gene Myers (Vice President of Informatics Research, Celera Genomics) * A half-day tutorial on bioinformatics. * A panel discussion on developing university bioinformatics curricula. The deadline for submission of extended abstracts is September 1, 2000, and authors will be notified by October 13, 2000.
