ISMB has also become forum

Two Poster Author Sessions, carved out of the evening program, will provide 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. 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.
