Gunnar Raetsch (Max Planck Institute, Germany)

SCOPE
-----
The International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR) sponsored conference aims to bring together top researchers, practitioners and students from around the world to discuss the applications of pattern recognition methods in the field of bioinformatics to solve problems in the life sciences. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in the research areas of interest to the workshop. These include:

Bio-sequence analysis
Gene and protein expression analysis
Protein structure and interaction prediction
Motifs and signal detection
Metabolic modelling and analysis
Systems and synthetic biology
Pathway and network analysis
Immuno- and chemo-informatics
Evolution and phylogeny
Biological databases, integration and visualisation
Bio-imaging

Pattern recognition techniques of interest include, but not limited to:
Static, syntactic and structural pattern recognition
Data mining, Data based modelling
Neural networks, Fuzzy systems
Evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence
Hidden Markov models, Graphical models
