For the second time, all Posters accepted for presentation will be on exhibit for the entire meeting. The twoday meetings are 3Dsig Structural Bioinformatics & Computational Biophysics, the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference BOSC, BioPathways, Alternative Splicing, and the Joint AFPBiosapiens SIG. Two others will occur during the main meeting BioLink July 18 and Next Generation Sequencing July 19.

We note that the acceptance rate is slightly higher than ISMBECCB 2007. For the second year, there will be Highlights Track featuring recently published, high impact work. While many countries have venues that would allow meetings of between 1,000 and 5,000 participants, such venues often do not permit the level of fullscale parallelism that ISMB has grown into since we cannot tell upfront which track will be visited, we currently need to reserve seven rooms each of which can seat more than participants.

Work from highly ranked journals and from journals traditionally featuring more experimental biology is welcome. On the one hand, computational sciences publish their best work in peerreviewed journals with the highest possible impact journals with higher impact are ranked higher, and publications are not coupled to presentations at any meeting. The International Society for Computational Biology ISCB presents the Sixteenth International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology ISMB 2008, to be held in Toronto, Canada, 1923, Publications in conference proceedings are often more highly regarded than those in peerreviewed scientific journals.

Murali and Matthew These workshops will be more comprehensive than the current demos and give attendees an opportunity to bring their own data, laptops, and problems for practical learning. For the second time, all Posters accepted for presentation will be on exhibit for the entire meeting. In all, more than journals were cited among the submissions received, ranging from Bioinformatics to PNAS, from Cell to PLoS Biology, and from Molecular Systems Biology to PLoS ONE. The Industry Track will run for two days July 1819 and four for one day.

Which is shame IMO. made few points about the conference here and some reflections on the open data and software BoF. Thanks for your reply, Jason. Your comments on your blogs are interesting and Carole Gobles talk certainly raises some pertinent points. I think better coordination among the SIGs in the future is necessary as there is much overlap among them.Definitely!

I think better coordination among the SIGs in the future is necessary as there is much overlap among them.Definitely! If you signed up for one SIG you had no idea what was going on in the others. Unfortunately wasnt aware of what 3Dsig was doing or their BoFs so it was hard to attend. It seems completely backward that group spends several years of effort and public money only to hide their results away from the community. made few points about the conference here and some reflections on the open data and software BoF.

Chris Cole made few points about the conference here and some reflections on the open data and software BoF was organized by ISCB during ISMB conference to address their policy statement. For me science is all about sharing ideas and discoveries, and softwarecode should be part and parcel of that ideal. Which is shame IMO. Thanks for your reply, Jason. Your comments on your blogs are interesting and Carole Gobles talk certainly raises some pertinent points. The changes to allow nonfull length papers submitted and more recent topics from the highlight track was good addition.

For me science is all about sharing ideas and discoveries, and softwarecode should be part and parcel of that ideal. guess it has to do with timing. think better coordination among the SIGs in the future is necessary as there is much overlap among them.
