                       Biomolecular Informatics
                   Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
                    February 27 -- March 2, 2000      

                         In conjunction with

              Fifth Joint Conference on Information Sciences


         Integrating Information Science with Molecular Biology

The Biomolecular Informatics workshop will be a forum for 
practitioners,
researchers, scientists, educators, students and users to explore new 
ideas 
and exchange tools, techniques and experiences in the fields of 
information
science and molecular biology. We invite the submission of original 
research contributions that address how information science techniques
can be applied to molecular biology. Topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

In Molecular Biology                   In Information Science

Biological Data Mining & Warehousing   Algorithms
Classification and Clustering          Data Structures 
Conformational Space Analysis          Genetic Computation
Drug Design                            Information Theory
Gene Finding                           Machine Learning
Motif Discovery                        Neural Networks
Protein Alignment                      Pattern Recognition
Sequence Comparison                    Visualization and Graphics
Structure Prediction                   Web Technology
