AIMS AND SCOPE

The Third International Conference on Algebraic Biology, AB'08, is an
international forum to promote discussion and interaction between
researchers who apply symbolic computation to various issues 
in biology / life sciences. The conference covers all aspects of 
applications of symbolic computation methods in biology 
(see CONFERENCE TOPICS).

IMPORTANT DATES

January 21, 2008    Deadline for submission
March 31, 2008      Notification of acceptance
April 28, 2008      Camera-ready paper submission

CONFERENCE TOPICS

The conference covers all aspects of applications of symbolic
computation methods in biology, e.g.
   * mathematical modeling
   * model identification
   * system analysis and design
   * system verification
   * system synthesis
   * etc.
in
   * molecular sequence analysis
   * molecular structure analysis
   * molecular evolution
   * genomics
   * proteomics
   * gene regulation
   * gene expression
   * gene ontology
   * network inference
   * etc.
using
   * polynomial methods
   * group theory
   * rewriting
   * automated reasoning
   * automata theory
   * formal language methods
   * combinatorics
   * graph theory
   * artificial intelligence
   * hybrid symbolic-numerical methods
   * differential algebra
   * local analysis
   * etc.
in various computing paradigms like
   * sequential
   * parallel
   * distributed
   * grid computing
   * cellular
   * genetic
   * etc.

SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit original papers that have not been
submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions that present recent
results (including significant work-in-progress) and identify and
explore new directions of research are welcome.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed, and the accepted papers will
appear in the proceedings before the Conference. The proceedings will
be published in the Springer LNCS series. See the conference website
for details on the submission format.

Revised versions of selected papers may later be submitted to
   Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS),
   Special Issue on Symbolic Computation in Biology,
if they substantially extend the ideas and topics published in the 
Proceeding Volume. See http://www.cbrc.jp/~horimoto/MCS_si/ for details.
