> introducing:
> 1- advanced fundamental algorithms in bioinformatics,
> 2- their application in genome analyses,
> 3- and recent knowledge acquired from genomes studies.
>
> The course is aimed for motivated Ph.D. and Post-doctoral students,
> as well as
> young assistant professors and junior scientists in Public
> Institutions from
> developing countries, who are interested in Bioinformatics and
> Genome Analysis.
> Twenty (20) full time places are available for the course.
> Acceptance will be
> subject to an evaluation process and preference will be given to
> research
> scientists from the International Network of Institute Pasteur

reviewer reports.

SPECIAL ISSUES
Authors of selected papers presented (both oral and poster) at PRIB 2008
will be invited to extend their work for consideration for publication in
following special issues of reputed journals:
a) Elsevier's Pattern Recognition Letters (PRL) journal: Special Issue on
"Pattern recognition in bioinformatics"
b) Elsevier's Neurocomputing journal: Special Issue on "Neurocomputing in
bioinformatics and computational biology"

SPECIAL SESSIONS
Apart from regular sessions, there are now 5 special sessions soliciting
paper submissions
a) SS1: Special Session on Neuro Computing for microarray data analysis
b) SS2: Special Session on Pattern Recognition in bio-molecular interaction
networks
c) SS3: Special Session on High performance computing in bioinformatics
d) SS4: Special Session on Bioinformatics in genetic disorders and
computational vaccinology
