Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2002/2003/2004

摘要：本提案要求支持太平洋生物计算研讨会（PSB），特别是PSB '03-' 07。该会议每年一月初在夏威夷州举行。PSB '03-' 07的确切日期和地点尚未确定。这次会议吸引了来自世界各地的科学家，他们的兴趣在于计算机科学和生物学之间的界面。涵盖了计算生物学的大部分领域，重点是分子生物学，生物信息学和基因组学。本次会议的成立是为了通过提供一个论坛来介绍尖端研究和交流思想，从而促进计算生物学领域的发展。PSB的历史：欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.hsb.stanford.edu。PSB起源于1993年首次举行的另一次生物技术计算会议;因此，目前支持的PSB 2002将是这次会议的10周年纪念。出席人数已从103人在PSB-96，第一年与PSB指定365在PSB'01。重要特征：许多人认为PSB、RECOMB和ISMB是生物信息学领域三大经常性会议。在这三者中，公共事业具有独特的基层发展机制。联合组织者公开征集会议提案，然后从竞争日益激烈的提案组中进行选择。这种方法使公共广播机构能够通过由参与者确定的有组织的连贯会议来突出新出现的领域。选定会议提案的主席是公共广播服务的关键。他们鼓励同事提交论文，公开征集论文，监督会议上对论文的审查，确保被接受的论文在会议前按时到达以供出版，并在会议上组织会议和研讨会。在会议上提供会议记录增加了与会者之间交流的深度。Medline索引和电子可用性联合收割机结合起来，以提高这些会议记录的价值。夏威夷的选址是经过深思熟虑的，因为它的延伸范围是太平洋沿岸。这一点很重要，因为日本的生物信息学交流和环太平洋地区的新兴优势。事实上，环太平洋地区的参与者人数从17人在PSB'96增加到57人在PSB'01。随着如此多的基因组的完成，包括我们自己的粗略草案，PSB比以往任何时候都更加重要。事实上，公共广播事业就是在这段时间的预期下开始的。

Summary: this proposal requests support for The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), specifically for PSB '03 -'07. This meeting is held annually in early January in the State of Hawaii. The exact dates and locations for PSB '03-'07 have not yet been determined. This meeting attracts scientists from all around the world whose interests lie at the interface between computer science and biology. Most areas of computational biology are covered, with an emphasis on molecular biology, bioinformatics, and genomics. This meeting was established to promote the field of computational biology by providing a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research and the exchange of ideas. History of PSB: For more information, please visit http://www.hsb.stanford.edu. PSB arose from another meeting Biotechnology Computing, first held in 1993; thus the currently supported PSB 2002 will make the 10th anniversary of this conference. Attendance has grown from 103 at PSB-96, the first year with the PSB designation to 365 at PSB'01. Important Features: Many recognize PSB, RECOMB and ISMB as the three major recurring meetings in bioinformatics. Among these three, PSB has a unique grass-roots development mechanism. The Co-Organizers issue an open call for session proposals and then select from an increasingly competitive group of proposals. This approach allows PSB to spotlight emerging areas with organized coherent sessions as defined by the participants. The chairs of the selected session proposals are the lynchpins of PSB. They encourage submission of papers by colleagues, develop open calls for papers, oversee the reviews of the papers in their sessions, insure that the accepted papers arrive on time for publication prior to the meeting and organize their session and workshop at the meeting. Having the conference proceedings available at the meeting increases the depth of exchanges between participants. Indexing by Medline and electronic availability combine to enhance the value of these conference proceedings. The Hawaii location was chosen with deliberation for its outreach towards the Pacific Rim. This is important because of the exchange of bioinformatics in Japan and the emerging strengths around the Pacific Rim. Indeed the number of Pacific Rim participants grew from 17 at PSB'96 TO 57 AT psb'01. With the completion of so many genomes, including a rough draft of our own, PSB is more important than ever. Indeed, PSB was started in anticipation of this period of time.
