III: Small: Women in Bioinformatics Initiative at ACM BCB 2011

计算机机械协会（ACM）生物信息学和计算生物学国际会议（ACM-BCB）旨在提供一个共同的环境，以弥合计算机科学，数学，统计学，生物学，生物信息学和生物医学的重要跨学科研究领域，以及一个互动论坛，汇集了一流的研究人员，从业人员，和来自世界各地的学生，以促进科学的理解和计算生物科学的发现。会议为来自不同学科的研究人员提供了一个机会，以形成新的合作和研究计划。 求婚的人？生物信息学中的女性？2011年ACM-BCB的一项倡议促进了代表性不足的群体广泛参与这一重要活动，并有助于在计算机科学、生物科学、生物医学科学和其他跨学科领域发展21世纪的劳动力。

The Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM-BCB) is aimed at providing a common environment to bridge important interdisciplinary research areas in computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine and an interactive forum which brings together superb researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to promote scientific understanding and findings in computational bioscience. The meeting provides an opportunity for researchers from very different disciplines to form new collaborations and research programs. The proposed ?Women in Bioinformatics? initiative at ACM-BCB 2011 promotes broad participation from underrepresented groups in this important event and help develop the 21st century workforce in the computer science, biological science, biomedical science and other interdisciplinary areas.
