*******************************************************************************
As we move into the 21st century, the unprecedented possibilities for
multidisciplinary research in biology are posed to concentrate a great
deal of the attention and efforts in science and technology. The
promising perspectives include not only understanding and treating
diseases, but also deciphering the secrets of life from the molecular
to the environmental levels. At the same time, the vast complexity
underlying the biological systems represents a considerable obstacle
that will only be circumvented through the combination of powerful
mathematical concepts and methods, allied to the use of effective
computational implementation and simulation.
The 1st International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational
Biology (ICoBiCoBi), to be held in Brazil from 14th to 16th May 2003,
represents a unique opportunity for bringing together under the
unifying theme of computer science a broad series of concepts,
problems and applications in biology. Special attention will be placed
on the combined use of concepts and techniques to address relevant
problems in biology.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts reporting
high quality and innovative approaches to bioinformatics and
computational biology. Every accepted manuscript will be published
electronically in the WWW and considered for subsequent publication,
in extended version, in print in the respective proceedings.
