Well, the CASP2 meeting, a competition of various prediction methods,
is supposed to have finished on December 16.
(see http://www.bio.net/hypermail/BIO-SOFTWARE/9610/0047.html)
I suppose the results will be available on the WWW soon
(at http://PredictionCenter.llnl.gov ???)

abstracts of the first meeting in 1994 are still available on
http://www.mrc-cpe.cam.ac.uk/mirrors/llnl/structural_bio/asilomar/Meeting.desc.text.html
