SGI Best Paper and Best Student Paper Finalists Chosen

The ISMB2003 program committee, chaired by Gene Myers, professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, has chosen the finalists for this year's SGI Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards. The winners in both categories will be selected at ISMB2003.

The program committee and senior reviewers for the conference provided the initial nominations. The committee’s co-chairs then chose the finalists after reviewing all nominations. The winners will be selected by a subset of the senior review committee based on the written paper as well as oral presentation at the conference. The awards will be presented Wednesday, June 2 at 17:20 during ISMB2003.
