Conference: Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Conference 1994 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, on August 14-17, 1994

在计算生物学领域，一个重要的新兴分支学科是使用智能系统来支持分子生物学。来自人工智能、机器学习、智能数据库、定性和定量建模、并行计算和机器人学的技术正在成功地应用于遗传学、序列分析、蛋白质结构、分子进化、发育和许多其他生物学问题。继1993年在贝塞斯达举行的第一届分子生物学智能系统(ISMB)国际会议取得成功之后，我们建议于1994年8月14日至17日在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的斯坦福大学举办该系列会议的第二次会议。我们再次提议将计算机科学家和生物学家聚集在一起，进行跨学科的成果和思想交流。会议将由经过严格评审的论文、海报、演示、档案程序、教程和特邀演讲者组成。

In the field of computational biology, an important emerging subspecialty is the use of intelligent systems in support of molecular biology. Techniques drawn from artificial intelligence, machine learning, intelligent databases, qualitative and quantitative modelling, parallel computing, and robotics are being successfully applied to problems in genetics, sequence analysis, protein structure, molecular evolution, development, and many other problems in biology. Following on the success of the 1993 First International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) in Bethesda, we propose to host the second conference in the series at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, on August 14 through 17, 1994. We propose again to bring together computer scientists and biologists for cross-disciplinary exchange of results and ideas. The conference will consist of rigorously refereed papers, posters, demonstrations, archival proceedings, tutorials, and invited speakers.
