Workshop on Parallel Computational Biology

Parallel Bio-Computing 2009, Workshop on Parallel Computational Biology, will take place in Wroclaw (Breslau), Poland, September 13-16, 2009.

The goal of this Workshop is to present the latest research in high-performance computing applied to bioinformatics. We are especially interested in parallel and distributed algorithms, memory efficient algorithms, and design of high-performance software for clusters, massively parallel systems and grids. Submission of articles dealing with parallelization of applications on multi-/many-core as well as accelerator architectures are specifically encouraged.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
  Bioinformatics databases
  Computational genomics and proteomics
  DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping
  Gene expression and microarrays
  Gene identification and annotation
  Molecular sequence analysis
  Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
  Protein structure prediction and modelling
  Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
  Parallel architectures for biological applications
  System tools that support large scale high-performance bio-computing

The PBC Workshop will be held in conjunction with the Eighth International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2009, Wroclaw (Breslau), Poland, September 13-16, 2009 (http://www.ppam.pl).
