Workshop on
Computational Biology and Bio-inspired Computing
Wisla,
Poland, October 15-17, 2007
Computational
biology and Bio-inspired computing in particular is an
interdisciplinary study integrating research
methodologies employed in both biological and
computational sciences. This merger has provided both
communities with a framework, in the form of useful
metaphors, for research that has been extremely
successful. For instance, artificial immune systems,
genetic algorithms, and neural computation have been
successfully applied to a wide range of problems
outside the biological domain. Likewise, computational
models are allowing biologists to extract useful
information from protein sequence databanks, analyse
microarray datasets, and model complex dynamical
systems. This workshop is dedicated to promoting the
interdisciplinary spirit of computational
biology/bio-inspired computing by providing
researchers with a venue for publishing and sharing
their research strategies.
