The 2008 Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop
November 7, 2008, Philadelphia
http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~xqin/bioworkshop/2008/Bioworkshop.html

The 2008 Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop (CSBW) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2008).  The rapid accumulation of macromolecular structures presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities in analysis, modeling, and prediction of macromolecular structures and interactions. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology, structural biology, data mining, optimization and high performance computing to discuss recent results, new techniques, and open research problems in computational structural bioinformatics. Registration of CSBW will also include the participation in CSBW workshop and the BIBM main conference. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST 
(listed below but not limited to)

- Structure representation
- Structure prediction
- Structure alignment
- Interaction and docking
- Data mining of structural data
- Structural genomics
- Proteomics
- High performance computing applied to structural problems
- Graph theory applied to structural problems
- Optimization in structural problems

POSTER SESSION
We will accept abstracts for a poster session to provide a greater communication than presentations.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
CSBW invites high quality original papers on any computational development in structure related problems. Papers should use the two-column IEEE format. Please check the workshop website for more details (http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~xqin/bioworkshop/2008/Bioworkshop.html). The papers will be published in a proceeding by IEEE. One of the authors of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop and to give a presentation.
