SCOPE
-----
The International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR) sponsored conference aims to bring together top researchers, practitioners and students from around the world to discuss the applications of pattern recognition methods in the field of bioinformatics to solve problems in the life sciences. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in the research areas of interest to the workshop. These include: 
 
  Bio-sequence analysis
  Gene and protein expression analysis
  Protein structure and interaction prediction
  Motifs and signal detection
  Metabolic modelling and analysis
  Systems and synthetic biology
  Pathway and network analysis
  Immuno- and chemo-informatics
  Evolution and phylogeny
  Biological databases, integration and visualisation
  Bio-imaging
 
Pattern recognition techniques of interest include, but not limited to:
  Static, syntactic and structural pattern recognition
  Data mining, Data based modelling
  Neural networks, Fuzzy systems
  Evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence
  Hidden Markov models, Graphical models
