The
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB:
www.iscb.org)
presents the International conference on Intelligent
Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB). We will venture
beyond North America and Europe for the first time when
ISMB 2003 convenes in Brisbane, Australia from June 29 to
July 3, 2003.The
Institute for Molecular Bioscience, and the Advanced Computational
Modelling Centre of the University of Queensland, will serve
as local hosts. The venue for the 2003 conference and tutorials
will be the Brisbane Conference and Exhibition Centre, Australia’s
largest purpose-built conference facility, adjacent to the
fabulous South Bank parklands and a short walk or ferry-ride
across the Brisbane River from the downtown hotel district.
The Organizing Committee, co-chaired by Gene Myers (Program
Committee) and Mark Ragan (Local Committee), have ensured
that the conference will meet the highest scientific, technical
and organizational standards --and be great fun.
Brisbane,
the capital of Queensland, is a cosmopolitan city of 1.6-1.8
million with three major universities and a growing biotechnology
sector. Delegates may fly direct to Brisbane from all major
Australian cities as well as Auckland, Bangkok, Brunei,
Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Osaka, Seoul,
Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo. Late June/early July is mid-winter
in Brisbane, with sunny warm days (average high 20degreesC
= 68degreesF) and crisp cool nights (average low 10degreesC
= 50degreesF). A favorable exchange rate will help deliver
great value to participants.
World-class
tourist destinations easily accessible from Brisbane include
the Great Barrier Reef, the Gold Coast, Ayers Rock, and
the great Australian outback. Sandy beaches, offshore islands,
wet and dry tropical forests, mountains and World Heritage
national parks lie within a 1-2 hour drive from downtown.
Delegates and exhibitors may wish to travel on to the XIX
International Genetics Congress in Melbourne (July 6-12:
www.geneticscongress2003.com) or the Fifth International
Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Sydney
(July 7-11: www.austms.org.au/iciam2003)
immediately after ISMB 2003.
We
look forward to seeing you at ISMB-2003!
