Stochastic Models, Formal Systems and Algorithmic Discovery for Genome Informatics

Track Co-Chairs:
Kiyoshi Asai, Tom Head, Katsumi Nitta and Takashi Yokomori

This track is intended to cover stochastic models, grammars and formal systems for bio-sequences, and algorithmic discovery in biocomputing. More specifically, hidden Markov models and other types of stochastic grammars for the analysis, classification and structure modeling for the bio-sequences. It also concerns computational aspects of formal systems for bio-sequences, including formal linguistics, splicing models and DNA computing. You are encouraged to participate in the track, either by submitting a paper for oral sessions, presenting a poster, as a referee, or as a conference attendee.

For oral presentations, all paper submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by at least 3 independent referees, and accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume.

Researchers who wish to present their research without official publication are encouraged to submit abstracts (no more than 3 pages) for poster presentations.
