CALL FOR PAPERS ************************************************************ IEEE Workshop on Shape and Pattern Matching in Computational Biology Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts June 19th 1995 ************************************************************ The purpose of this workshop is to foster dialog and debate on some fundamental unsolved issues in pattern matching and shape representation applied to the molecular biology domain. This one day workshop will be held in conjunction with the 1995 International Conference on Computer Vision. The program will consist of the highest quality, previously unpublished, contributed papers on all aspects of pattern analysis, pattern and shape matching, and shape representation that have direct application in molecular biology and genetics. A suggested and non-exclusive list of possible topics is: DNA/Protein Sequence Search and Classification Protein Structural Matching Multiple Alignment of Genetic Sequences 3D Protein Modeling 3D Molecular Matching and Docking, Pattern Matching Issues in Protein Folding Pattern Matching Issues in Drug Design PAPER SUBMISSION Four copies of each complete manuscript should be received by Wednesday March 1st, 1995 at the following address: Andrea Califano/IBM T.J.Watson Research Center/30 Saw Mill River Road/ Hawthorne, NY 10532. Papers should include 1.A title page containing the names and addresses of the authors (including e-mail and FAX), an abstract of up to 200 words, and one or more categories as listed above or other keywords. 2.A second title page with title and abstract only, no author names (for double blind reviewing). 3.Up to 25 double-space pages (11 points, 1 inch margin), including figures, references, etc. GENERAL CHAIR PROGRAM CO-CHAIR PROGRAM CO-CHAIR Andrea Califano Haim Wolfson Isidore Rigoutsos TJ Watson Res.Center Computer Science Dpt.
