Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing '98 Conference, January 4-9, 1998, Maui, Hawaii

第三届太平洋生物计算研讨会将于1998年1月4-9日在夏威夷毛伊岛举行。PSB汇集了来自北美、亚太国家、欧洲和世界各地的顶尖研究人员，交流研究成果，解决计算生物学各个方面的公开问题。PSB提供了一个论坛，用于介绍应用于生物学问题的数据库、算法、接口、可视化、建模和其他计算方法方面的工作，重点是在数据丰富的分子生物学领域的应用。PSB吸引了计算机科学家和生物学家的平衡组合，展示了重要的原创性研究，展示了计算机系统，并促进了对计算生物学重要主题的正式和非正式讨论。论文和演示文稿经过严格的同行评审，并出版在档案论文集中，国家医学图书馆将在Medline中对其进行索引。PSB的设计是为了最大限度地响应生物计算中子学科对临界质量的需求。出于这个原因，这是唯一一次每年根据具体建议动态定义会议的会议，由新兴分支学科的领导人组织，旨在为发表和讨论生物计算“热门领域”的研究提供一个论坛。这项提议将专门用于为参加会议提供资金，并为会议提供一个本地互联网连接的计算环境。

The third Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), will be held January 4-9, 1998 in Maui, Hawaii. PSB brings together top researchers from North America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB provides a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology. PSB attracts a balanced combination of computer scientists and biologists, presenting significant original research, demonstrating computer systems, and facilitating formal and informal discussions on topics of importance to computational biology. Papers and presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume which will be indexed in Medline by the National Library of Medicine. PSB is designed to be maximally responsive to the need for critical mass in subdisciplines within biocomputing. For that reason, it is the only meeting whose sessions are defined dynamically in response to specific proposals each year, organized by leaders in emerging subdisciplines and targeted to provide a forum for publication and discussion of research in biocomputing's "hot area". This proposal is to be specifically used for funding participation and to provide a computing environment an internet connection locally for the conference.
