The program of CSBW 2009 has been posted!
The selected papers from the workshop will be invited to extend to a full paper for the publishing on BMC Structural Biology journal as a supplement issue.
Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop
Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop (CSBW) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2009). The rapid accumulation of macromolecular structures presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities in analysis, modeling, and prediction of macromolecular structures and interactions. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise in bioinformatics, computa-tional biology, structural biology, data mining, optimization and high performance computing to discuss recent results, new techniques, and open research problems in computational structural bioinformatics. Registration of the CSBW will enjoy the benefit of the main conference BIBM2009.
