                       CALL FOR PAPERS
 
The past few years have witnessed phenomenal growth of 
bioinformatics, an exciting field devoted to the interpretation and 
analysis of biological data using computational techniques. Among 
the large number of computational techniques used, soft computing, 
which incorporates 
 
   * neural networks, 
   * evolutionary computation, 
   * fuzzy systems, and 
   * chaos, 
 
stands out because of its demonstrated strength in handling 
imprecise information and providing novel solutions to hard 
problems. 
 
This special issue aims at not only showcasing innovative 
applications of soft computing techniques to bioinformatics, but 
also clarifying outstanding issues for future progress. 
 
Biological areas of interest include but are not limited to the 
following: 
 
   * protein structure and function, 
   * genomics, 
   * proteomics, 
   * molecular sequence analysis, 
   * evolution and phylogenetics, 
   * molecular interactions and structure, 
   * gene expression, 
   * metabolic pathways, 
   * regulatory networks, 
   * developmental control and systems biology.  
 
Papers should be submitted in PDF format via email to any of the 
following guest editors by 30 March 2004:
 
   * David Corne ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
   * Gary Fogel ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
   * Jagath C. Rajapakse ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
   * Lipo Wang ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
