The German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB-98) will present the state of the art in Molecular Bioinformatics. It is an international conference within the tradition of the German Workshop 'Computers in Bioscience' created more than 10 years ago. GCB'98 focuses on the bioinformatics support research in the modern molecular biosciences. The conference will present the current research in the theory and application of computational methods to genomic, sequence, and structural information. The conference language is English.
Participation is invited from the scientific community active in the development of concepts and applications to the evaluation of genomic information, analysis and prediction of protein structure, and design of drugs and proteins. Submissions in the form of full papers or extended abstracts (ca. three pages) for lectures, or abstracts (1-2 pages) for posters and demos should reflect recent work to be presented to an audience of interested scientists and industrial researchers.
Selected papers and presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in a special issue of [CABIOS]. The scientific committee will evaluate submissions and recommend papers for publication in CABIOS. These manuscripts are subject to the ordinary CABIOS review procedure (3 referees).
A special section for the demonstration of software in form of a plenary session will adjourn the conference.
Full Papers should be 12 pages, single-spaced and set in 12 point type, including title, abstract, figures, tables, and bibliography. Submissions to be considered for [CABIOS] publication must follow authors instructions of that journal. Poster and software demonstration abstracts should be max. 2 pages. Postal and electronic mailing addresses, telephone, and fax numbers must be included. Processing of submissions is facilitated by sending postscript files via e-mail to [D.Schomburg]
The conference takes place in a beautiful historical place, Kardinal-Schulte-Haus. The castle-like conference centre is surrounded by a park and located at the outskirts of a hilly area near Cologne and overlooking the city and its environment.
