Important dates:
Submission deadline: April 16, 2004
Notification to authors: May 29, 2004
Symposium: September 14--17, 2004
Scope:
The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics covers research in all
aspects of algorithmic work in bioinformatics and computational biology.
The emphasis is on discrete algorithms that address important problems
in molecular biology, genomics and genetics, that are founded on sound
models, that are computationally efficient, that have been implemented
and tested in simulations and on real datasets and that provide new
biological results. The goal is to present recent research results,
including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore
directions for future research.
Topics:
Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) or
state-of-the-art surveys are solicited in all aspects of algorithms in
bioinformatics and computational biology, including, but not limited to:
* Exact and approximate algorithms for genomics, genetics, sequence
analysis, gene and signal recognition, alignment, molecular evolution,
phylogenetics, structure determination or prediction, gene expression
and gene networks, proteomics, functional genomics, and drug design.
* Methods, software and dataset repositories for development and
testing of such algorithms and their underlying models.
* High-performance computing approaches to computationally hard problems
in bioinformatics, particularly optimization problems.
Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 12 pages in LNCS-style. The paper should contain a succinct
statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main
results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to
non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be
put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at
their discretion. Electronic submission is highly recommended;
procedures for electronic submission will be available on the WABI 2004
web site. In case of problems with access to Internet, it is possible to
submit 6 copies of the paper to one of the program committee co-chairs.

Hard copy submissions must be received by April 16 or postmarked no
later than April 9 and sent by airmail to be considered. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings, is not
permitted. However simultaneous submission to journals is allowed -- if
published in the journal, such contributions will be published as short
abstracts in the WABI proceedings. Authors simultaneously submitting
their work to a journal must inform the WABI program committee chair at
submission time. Authors are expected to present their accepted papers
at the conference.
Proceedings:
Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes
in Computer Science. Previous proceedings of WABI, 2001 in Aarhus, 2002
in Rome and 2003 in Budapest, appeared as LNCS 2149, 2452, and 2812
Accepted contributed papers will receive an allotment of 12 pages in the
proceedings.
