The workshop will provide a forum for presenting and exchanging new ideas and experiences in this area. Topics of interest include high performance algorithms, systems, architecture, and tools for the following: (but are not limited to the following list) * Microarray Analysis * RNAi Analysis * Systems Biology * Computational Genomics * Comparative Genomics * DNA Assembly, Clustering, and Mapping * Gene identification and annotation * Computational Proteomics * Evolution and Phylogenetics * Protein Structure Predication and Modeling * Medical Image Processing * Computer Assisted Surgery * Computational Medicine Modeling * Computational Biology Modeling * Augmented Reality * Medical Informatics SUBMISSION INFORMATION: Talks will be accepted on the basis of a paper of approximately 15 single-column pages that describes the work, its significance, and the current status of the research. Submit one electronic copy of the paper in PostScript or PDF format by February 15, 2005. Please visit the workshop home page for submission instructions. Notification of acceptance will be given by March 22, 2005, and camera-ready papers will be due April 21, 2005. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in proceedings that will be distributed at the workshop. In addition, authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications.
