Proceedings of the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2011 (Electronic book text)

The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2011 is an international multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. Presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2011 will be held on January 3 a 7 2011 in Kohala Coast Hawaii. Tutorials and workshops will be offered prior to the start of the conference.PSB 2011 will bring together top researchers from the US Asia Pacific and around the world to exchange research results and address pertinent issues in all aspects of computational biology. It is a forum for the presentation of work in databases algorithms interfaces visualization modeling and other computational methods as applied to biological problems with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology.The PSB has been designed to be responsive to the need for critical mass in sub-disciplines within biocomputing. For that reason it is the only meeting whose sessions are defined dynamically each year in response to specific proposals. PSB sessions are organized by leaders of research in biocomputing's ahot topicsa. In this way the meeting provides an early forum for serious examination of emerging methods and approaches in this rapidly evolving field."
