Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS); May 26-28, 2004; Baltimore, MD

我们正在为第二届基因组信号处理和统计研讨会（GENSIPS）申请资金，该研讨会计划于2004年5月26日至28日举行。研讨会将在马里兰州巴尔的摩市约翰霍普金斯大学的霍姆伍德校区举行。这个为期三天的研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，介绍基因组信号处理和统计学的新成果，并确定生物学，统计学和信号处理社区之间的研究和合作的潜在领域。该研讨会已被批准为IEEE信号处理学会合作会议，并有一个重要的教程组成部分，旨在教育，将基因组学问题的意识带给信号处理和统计社区，并促进该领域的合作研究。我们计划邀请10位国际知名的研究人员进行全体会谈，内容涵盖生物学、信号处理和统计学这三个感兴趣的领域。技术计划中还将包括海报会议和圆桌讨论会议。来自DARPA， NSF和Whitaker基金会的支持是为了帮助支付受邀演讲者和一些学生的注册费和旅费，以及与成功举办会议相关的计划和后勤问题相关的预期费用。

We are requesting funding for the second Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS), which is planned for May 26-28, 2004. The workshop will be held on the Homewood campus of The Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland. The aim of this three-day workshop is to provide a forum for presenting new results on genomic signal processing and statistics and identify potential areas of research and collaboration between the biological, statistical, and signal processing communities. The workshop has been approved as an IEEE Signal Processing Society cooperating meeting and has a significant tutorial component with the aim to educate, to bring awareness of genomics problems to the signal processing and statistics communities, and to stimulate collaborative research in this area. We are planning to invite ten internationally renowned researchers to deliver plenary talks covering all three areas of interest: biology, signal processing and statistics. Contributed poster sessions and a round-table discussion session will also be featured in the technical program. Support from DARPA, NSF and the Whitaker foundation is sought to help defray registration fees and travel expenses for invited speakers and a few students, as well as anticipated costs associated with the planning and the logistical issues related to holding a successful meeting.
