International
Society of Symmetry in Bioinformatics (ISSB)
Exploiting the symmetries,
patterns, and
beauty in
the emerging
field of Bioinformatics
beyond the
double helix…
Symmetry
arises and plays an
important role in nearly all branches of arts and sciences.
This is
particularly true in
mathematics, physics, theoretical biology, and biosystems. It is
remarkable
that symmetry aspects
have only recently been exploited in genetic
information
and Bioinformatics.
There is now a growing collection of researchers in
Bioinformatics
who are currently
attempting to investigate the symmetrical, asymmetrical
and
anti-symmetrical structures
at every level of form, pattern, structure, function,
interaction,
and evolution. The
time therefore seemes ripe for bringing these varied
communities
together to exchange
ideas and move the field of Bioinformatics forward in
the aspects
of discovering the
hidden patterns, symmetries, and beauty of genomes to
life.
With this
aim, the International
Society of Symmetry in Bioinformatics (ISSB) was born
in 2003 under
the framework of
International Association of Symmetry (ISA). The ISA
official
headquarter is at
Budapest, Hungary. The ISSB office is located in, Florida,
USA. The main
purpose of the
ISSB is to explore the patterns, symmetries, and beauty in
the emerging
field of
Bioinformatics through the organization of conferences and
publishing
the latest research
work in printed/electronic forms under the guidance of
ISSB Honorary
Directors and the
leadership of ISSB Board Directors.
The ISSB
Honorary Directors are
world famous scientists and academicians. The ISSB
board
directors are the leading
exports in the areas of biology, biochemistry, biophysics,
biomechanics,
computer science
and mathematics. Our goals are
· To exploit
the patterns, symmetries, and beauty in the emerging field of
Bioinformatics
beyond the double
helix,
· To unlock
the hidden patterns, symmetries, asymmetries, and antisymmetries of
genomes to
life,
· To open the
door of natural technology of genetic coding at every level of form,
structure,
function,
interaction, and evolution.

Invitation
Bioinformatics
is a new scientific discipline that merges biology, computer science,
mathematics,
and others into
a broad-based fie ld that is important to all of the biological
sciences. It is
the
application of
mathematics (e.g., probability and statistics), science (e.g.,
biochemistry),
and a
core set of
problem-solving methods (e.g., computer programming) to design and
implement
solutions to
critical problems.
Symmetry arises
and plays an important role in nearly all branches and sciences. This is
particularly
true in mathematics, physics, theoretical biology, and biological
systems. It
is
remarkable that
symmetry aspects have only recently been exploited in genetic
information and
Bioinformatics.
There is now a growing collection of researchers in Bioinformatics who
are
currently
attempting to investigate the symmetrical, asymmetrical and
anti-symmetrical
structures
at every level
of form, pattern, structure, function, interaction, and evolution. The
time
therefore
seems ripe for
bringing these varied communities together to exchange ideas and move
the field
of
Bioinformatics forward in the aspects of discovering hidden symmetries,
patterns, and beauty
of genome to
life.
With this aim,
the International Society of Symmetry in Bioinformatics (ISSB) is going
to host
an
International
Conference in Bioinofrmatics emphasizing the pattern discovering,
symmetrical
structures and
functions in Bioinformatics. The conference will be held from December
15 to
December 18,
2004 at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. You are invited to submit a
research
paper
to this
conference (see below for submission information). All accepted papers
will be
published
in the
conference proceedings.
