PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS AND INVITED SESSIONS

********************************************************************************************
Third IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition in 
Bioinformatics (PRIB 2008)
October 15 – 17, 2008
Melbourne, Australia

http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/prib08
********************************************************************************************

PRIB 2008 is aimed at bringing 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 life sciences. Pattern recognition techniques of interest 
include: statistical, syntactic, and structural approaches, Bayesian, 
hidden Markov and graphical models, neural networks, fuzzy and genetic 
algorithms, data mining, and their hybrids. Papers in areas of (but not 
limited to) bio-sequence analysis, gene and protein expression
analysis, 
structure prediction, protein folding, docking, metabolic pathway 
analysis and regulatory networks, system biology, drug design, and 
bioimaging, are solicited for presentation at the conference.

All papers will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published 
in the conference proceedings as an edited volume in Lecture Notes in 
Bioinformatics by Springer. Submission of papers will be electronic and 
through the conference website. Proposals for special sessions and 
tutorials at the conference are also invited in all related areas of 
research. Authors of selected papers presented at the conference will 
also be invited for publication in Special Issues of reputed journals.
