Description
 

*** Following several requests, we are extending the submissions deadline to 15 May. ***

We cordially invite you to join us for a workshop on Probabilistic Modelling in Computational Biology affiliated with ISMB/ECCB in Vienna. The meeting will focus on Probabilistic Methods for Active Learning and Data Integration in Computational Biology.

The extraction of an improved biological understanding from genome-scale quantitative measurements, like microarray data, has become a very active area of bioinformatics research. The integration of data necessary for the intelligent exploitation of contextual information provides a considerable challenge. As recent work demonstrates, probabilistic approaches prove to be promising, flexible tools in this endeavour.

The workshop will explore current advances and open issues in sessions presenting novel developments contributed by participants and introduced by invited talks from leading researchers in the field. Confirmed keynote speakers:
- Chris Holmes, Oxford Centre for Gene Function, Dept of Statistics, Univ. of Oxford, U.K.
- Gos Micklem, Cambridge Computational Biology Institute & Dept of Genetics, Univ. of Cambridge, U.K.
- Olga Troyanskaya, Lewis-Sigler Inst. for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University, U.S.A.
- Lorenz Wernisch, Birkbeck College, Univ. of London, U.K. (MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge, from April 2007).

We welcome submissions of extended abstracts by 15 April 2007 for short presentations of recent work in the field. Poster facilities are also provided.

Looking forward to seeing you this year in Vienna,

David Kreil & Peter Sykacek
