Scientific Overview
The development of new bio-technologies that probe previously unexplored aspects of biological systems has changed the world
of biological research radically within the last 10 years. The nature of the data of this rapidly changing biology has created
a fertile ground for quantitative scientists. Issues of appropriate strategies for search, what to search for, and how to turn
massive quantities of biological data into useful knowledge have moved to the forefront. Contributions from diverse areas such
as combinatorics, graph and network theory, differential equations, machine learning, data mining, statistics and statistical
physics have been used to create more powerful information search and knowledge management.
This interesting blend of fields has created a tower of Babel out of which a communication currency has yet to emerge. This
workshop is intended as a convergence of quantitatively oriented researchers addressing these issues in their quest to answer
important biological questions. This workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers with quite different perspectives and
interests to listen to each other in an atmosphere that will allow us to cross-fertilize ideas and open our minds to the ways
other quantitative researchers are thinking about other biological problems.
