Springer Advances in Bioinformatics: 4th International Workshop on Practical Applications of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 2010 (IWPACBB 2010): 74 (Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, 74)

Recent progress in bioinformatics and computational biology has exposed a need for new algorithms and approaches in data integration, statistics, data mining, and more. Advances in Bioinformatics presents the latest research in these fields, and synthesizes the results of IWPACBB 2010 meeting. From the Back Cover The fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology have been growing steadily over the last few years boosted by an increasing need for computational techniques that can efficiently handle the huge amounts of data produced by the new experimental techniques in Biology. This calls for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Data Integration, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
