We believe that constraint programming technologies can play a very significant role in these fast developing areas. This workshop solicits contributions from researchers working in any of these exciting fields. Topics include (but are not restricted to) the application of constraint technology to * sequencing and sequence analysis * languages for the description of biomolecular structures (primary, secondary and tertiary) * description of sequences and patterns in biomolecular databases * algorithms for locating structures in biomolecular databases * discovery and data mining of biostructures * neural networks * genetic algorithms * genetic programs * DNA computing * Protein folding problems Papers that combine theory and practice are especially welcome. PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submission deadline is 15 August 1997. Authors are invited to submit original papers written in English and approximately 10 A4 pages to David Gilbert at the contact address below. We encourage authors to submit by electronic mail in self-contained Postscript format. Alternatively five paper copies may be submitted. Decisions on acceptance will be sent to authors by by 15 September 1997. PUBLICATION An informal proceedings of the workshop will be available to the workshop participants. Final copies will be due by 1 October 1997. It is expected that selected papers will be published by Springer-Verlag.
