Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 16:16:01 -0700 From: Igor Jurisica jurisica@fis.utoronto.ca Subject: CFP: Data Mining and Discovery in Molecular Databases Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB 2000) DATA MINING AND DISCOVERY IN MOLECULAR DATABASES (http://www.cgl.ucsf/edu/psb/cfp-dm.html) This announcement solicits papers for a special track to be held as part of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB-2000). The track will focus on the automated process of discovery of novel and useful patterns or motifs in molecular databases. A primary objective of the session will be on the mining of sequence and structure databases in order to gain an increased understanding of the underlying relationships among sequence, structure and function. Papers should describe the underlining computational techniques that were performed. Preference will be given to papers that apply and evaluate novel data mining techniques to real molecular databases. Of particular interest are applications in areas such as protein structure prediction and drug design. As well, papers that discuss the advantages/limitations of alternative computational methods to the mining of molecular data will be considered. Deadlines: July 12 - papers due to PSB-00 as above
