AIMS AND SCOPE
The Third International Conference on Algebraic Biology, AB'08, is an international forum to promote discussion and interaction between researchers who apply symbolic computation to various issues in biology / life sciences. The
conference covers all aspects of applications of symbolic computation methods in biology (see CONFERENCE TOPICS).

CONFERENCE
TOPICS
The conference covers all aspects of applications of symbolic computation methods in biology, e.g. * mathematical modeling * model identification * system analysis and design * system verification * system synthesis * etc. in * molecular sequence analysis * molecular structure analysis * molecular evolution * genomics * proteomics * gene regulation * gene expression * gene ontology * network inference * etc. using * polynomial methods * group theory * rewriting * automated reasoning * automata theory * formal language methods * combinatorics * graph theory * artificial intelligence * hybrid symbolic-numerical methods * differential algebra * local analysis
* etc. in various computing paradigms like * sequential * parallel * distributed * grid computing * cellular * genetic * etc.
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit original papers that have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions that present recent results (including significant work-in-progress) and identify and explore new directions of research are welcome.
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed, and the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings before the Conference. Proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series. See the conference website for details on the submission format.
Revised versions of selected papers may later be submitted to Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS), Special Issue on Symbolic Computation in Biology, if they substantially extend the ideas and topics published
in the Proceeding Volume. See http://www.cbrc.jp/~horimoto/MCS_si/ for details.
