Schomburg (U Koeln) Chair + U. Lessel (U Koeln) SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE: T. Lengauer (GMD St. Augustin), W. Mewes (MIPS, Martinsried), D. Schomburg (Univ. Koeln), M. Vingron (DKFZ Heidelberg), E. Wingender (GBF, Braunschweig) The German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB-98) will present the state of the art in Molecular Bioinformatics. It is an international conference within the tradition of the German Workshop 'Computers in Bioscience' created more than 10 years ago. GCB'98 focuses on the bioinformatics support research in the modern molecular biosciences. The conference will present the current research in the theory and application of computational methods to genomic, sequence, and structural information. The conference language is English. Participation is invited from the scientific community active in the development of concepts and applications to the evaluation of genomic information, analysis and prediction of protein structure, and design of drugs and proteins. Submissions in the form of full papers or extended abstracts (ca. three pages) for lectures, or abstracts (1-2 pages) for posters and demos should reflect recent work to be presented to an audience of interested scientists and industrial researchers. Selected papers and presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in a special issue of CABIOS. The scientific committee will evaluate submissions and recommend papers for publication in CABIOS. These manuscripts are subject to the ordinary CABIOS review procedure (3 referees). A special section for the demonstration of software in form of a plenary session will adjourn the conference. Full Papers should be 12 pages, single-spaced and set in 12 point type, including title, abstract, figures, tables, and bibliography. Submissions to be considered for CABIOS publication must follow authors instructions of that journal. Poster and software demonstration abstracts should be max. 2 pages. Postal and electronic mailing addresses, telephone, and fax numbers must be included. Processing of submissions is facilitated by sending postscript files via e-mail to D.Schomburg@uni-koeln.de The conference takes place in a beautiful historical place, Kardinal-Schulte-Haus. The castle-like conference centre is surrounded by a park and located at the outskirts of a hilly area near Cologne and overlooking the city and its environment. Access from the Cologne main station or international airports Koeln/Bonn or Duesseldorf is convenient (ca. 30 min. from Cologne central station). Accommodation is provided in the conference centre or, after the rooms in the Kardinal-Schulte-Haus are booked, in a nearby hotel. The number of participants is limited to 200. Please make your reservation as soon as possible. Speakers and presenters of accepted posters will have preference, all other places will be given in order of the reception of the registration.

From Cologne/Bonn Airport, busses run every 15- 20 minutes to the city centre. From Duesseldorf there is a regular train service to the Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) in the centre of Cologne. From Frankfurt there is a train via Bonn to the main station in Cologne. Journey time is 2 hours). Good rail links also exist between Amsterdam and Brussels and Cologne. The central Euopean location of Cologne means that it can be easily reached by the major highways from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Eastern Europe. The main highways are A1, 3, 4, 54, 57, and 61. Built on the banks of the Rhine River, Cologne is a beautiful historic city in the heart of Europe. Cologne has an immense cultural heritage, including many relics of the Roman city, both in museums and at their original sites. With the Dom Cathedral, twelve Romanesque churches, the medieval treasures of "holy Cologne", galleries of modern and avant-garde art, Cologne offers one of Europe's greatest art collections. The Opera, Playhouse, Cologne Philharmonia and more than 100 smaller theatres and cultural institutions ensure Cologne has a cultural present besides its past.

We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.
