  Computational Biology is fast emerging as an important discipline
for academic research and industrial application. The large size of
biological data sets, inherent complexity of biological problems and
the ability to deal with error-prone data all result in large run-time
and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to provide a
forum for discussion of latest research in developing high-performance
computing solutions to problems arising from molecular biology. We are
especially interested in parallel algorithms, memory- efficient
algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, and design of
high-performance software.  The workshop will feature contributed
papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the
field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 * Bioinformatic databases
 * Computational genomics
 * Computational proteomics
 * DNA assembly, clustering and mapping
 * Gene expression and microarrays
 * Gene identification and annotation
 * Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
 * Parallel architectures for biological applications
 * Molecular evolution
 * Molecular sequence analysis
 * Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
 * Protein structure
 * String data structures and algorithms

Submission Guidelines:
----------------------

  Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and
experimental) in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology
are sought. Surveys of important recent results and directions are
also welcome. To submit a paper, send a postscript or PDF copy of the
paper by email to the workshop's Program Chair, Prof. Dan C. Marinescu,
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. The paper should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages
(US Letter or A4 size) in 11pt font or larger. All papers will be
reviewed. IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop
abstracts as a printed volume. The complete symposium and workshop
proceedings will also be published by IEEE CS Press on CD-ROM and will
also be available in the IEEE Digital Library.

  Authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to
submit extended versions of their papers for publication in the
journal Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.
