Scope

The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics covers research in all aspects of algorithmic work in bioinformatics. The emphasis is on discrete algorithms that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

WABI 2001 is sponsored by BRICS and EATCS (the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) and jointly organized and colocated with ESA 2001 and WAE 2001 in the context of ALGO 2001.

Topics

Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) or state-of-the-art surveys are solicited in all aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, including, but not limited to:

• Exact and approximate algorithms for genomics, sequence analysis, gene and signal recognition, alignment, molecular evolution, structure determination or prediction, gene expression and gene networks, proteomics, functional genomics, and drug design.
• Development of 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.

Proceedings

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science as Volume 2149.
