The success of bioinformatics in recent years has been prompted by research in molecular biology and molecular medicine in
initiatives like the human genome project. These initiatives gave rise to an exponential increase in the volume and diversification
of data, including protein and gene data, nucleotide sequences and biomedical literature.
Systems Biology is a related research area that has been replacing the reductionist view that dominated biology research in the last
decades, requiring the coordinated efforts of biological researchers with those related to data analysis, mathematical modelling,
computer simulation and optimization.
The accumulation and exploitation of large-scale data bases prompts for new computational technology and for research into these issues.
In this context, many widely successful computational models and tools used by biologists in these initiatives, such as clustering and
classification methods for gene expression data, are based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.
In fact, these methods have been helping in tasks related to knowledge discovery, modelling and optimization tasks, aiming at the development
of computational models so that the response of biological complex systems to any perturbation can be predicted. Hence, the 3rd International
Workshop on Practical Applications of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (IWPACBB) wants to promote the interaction among the scientific
community to discuss applications of AI with an interdisciplinary character, exploring the interactions between sub-areas of AI, Bioinformatics,
Chemoinformatic and Systems Biology.
Brand new ideas will be greatly appreciated as long as revisions and actualizations of previously presented works,
project resumes and PhD thesis presented or not.
The workshop will be organized into the 10th International Work-Conference on
Artificial Neural Networks (IWANN2009).
All papers accepted will be published in a special volume of IWANN in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS Springer Verlag).
IWANN is included in the ranking of the best conferences established by the Computer Science Conference Ranking based on the
"Estimated Impact of Conference (EIC)",concretely in
position 55 among 620 considered (in the Artificial Intelligence field). Therefore the papers will be indexed by CiteSeer.IST,
and by the organization Computing Research and Education Association (CORE).
This event will be carried out in paralel with other three events (DCAI, IWAAL and
Madrinet)
