<DIV>CALL FOR PAPERS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Major computational challenges have been raised in the post-genomic era.
Novel computational methods and approaches are required to acquire, store,
organize, archive, analyse and visualize the large amount of biological and
biomedical data. The goal of the track is to share ideas related to
bioinformatics challenge among biological, biomedical and computer scientists.
