CALL FOR PAPERS

 Higher School of Sciences and Technologies of Tunis
                     (Tunisia)

                     Organizes

       Algorithms in Molecular Biology (ALBIO'08)
            Workshop held in parallel with

          2nd International Conference on
   Bioinformatics Research and Development (BIRD’08)

                   www.birdconf.org

        Technical University of Vienna, Austria
                    July 7-9, 2008

 Computational Molecular Biology has emerged from the
Human Genome Project as an important discipline for
academic research and industrial application. The
exponential growth of the size of biological
databases, the complexity of biological problems and
the necessity to deal with errors in biological
sequences, result in time efficiency and memory
requirements. The development of fast, low memory
requirements and high-performances algorithms is thus
increasingly important in Computational Molecular
Biology.

 We are interested in papers that deal with
algorithms that solve fundamental and/or applied
problems in Molecular Biology, that are
computationally efficient, that have been implemented
and experimented on simulated and/or on real
biological sequences, and that provide interesting new
results. The submitted papers should present recent
research results and identify and explore directions
for future research. Topics include, but not limited
to: (i) strings processing, (ii) biological sequences
comparison, (iii) structures prediction, (iv)
phylogeny reconstruction, (v) DNA sequences assembly,
clustering, and mapping, (vi) molecular evolution,
(vii) genes prediction/recognition, (viii) genes
expression (ix) haplotyping (x) genomes rearrangement
(xi) strings barecoding.

 You are invited to submit a draft paper in PDF
format before March 15, 2008 to the Workshop Chair: Dr.
Mourad Elloumi, E.Mail: Mourad.Elloumi@fsegt.rnu.tn or
