PSB
2005
Mark your calendars now! The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB)
2005 will be held at the Fairmont Orchid, Big Island of Hawaii on
January 4-8, 2005. Registration opens August 9, 2004, and is limited
to the first 375 paid registrants.
PSB is a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms,
interfaces, visualization, modeling, and other computational methods,
as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in
data-rich areas of molecular biology. The paper submission deadline
has already passed, but researchers wishing to present their research
without official publication are encouraged to submit a one page abstract
between August 9 and November 1, 2004 to present their work in the
poster sessions
The PSB has been designed to be responsive to the need for critical
mass in sub-disciplines within biocomputing. For that reason, it is
the only meeting whose sessions are defined dynamically each year
in response to specific proposals. In this way, PSB provides an early
opportunity for serious examination of emerging methods and approaches
in this rapidly changing field. PSB sessions are organized by leaders
in these emerging areas and targeted to provide a forum for publication
and discussion of research in biocomputing's "hot topics."
To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing,
PSB is organized into a series of specific sessions. Each session
will involve both formal research presentations and open discussion
groups. The 2005 PSB sessions are:
Inferring SNP Function Using Evolutionary, Structural and Computational
Methods - Cochairs: Carlos Bustamante, Shamil Sunyaev and Matt Dimmic
Biogeometry: Applications of Computational Geometry to Molecular
Structure - Cochairs: Alexander Tropsha and Herbert Edelsbrunner
Inferring Function from Structural Genomics Targets - Cochairs:
Philip Bourne, Patsy Babbit and Sean Mooney
Computational Approaches for Pharmacogenomics - Cochairs: Marylyn
D Ritchie, Michelle W Carrillo, and Russell Wilke
Joint Learning from Multiple Types of Genomic Data - Cochairs:
Eran Segal and Alex Hartemink
Biomedical Ontologies - Cochairs: Olivier Bodenreider, Joyce
Mitchell and Alexa McCray
