   ************************************************************
           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    unpublished, contributed papers  on all  aspects of  pattern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

   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

        authors (including e-mail and FAX), an abstract of  up
        to 200 words,  and one  or more  categories as  listed
        above or other keywords.
