                          CALL FOR PAPERS   
       
   The past few years have witnessed phenomenal growth of    
   bioinformatics, an exciting field devoted to the interpretation and    
   analysis of biological data using computational techniques. Among    
   the large number of computational techniques used, soft computing,    
   which incorporates    
       
      * neural networks,    
      * evolutionary computation,    
      * fuzzy systems, and    
      * chaos,    
       
   stands out because of its demonstrated strength in handling    
   imprecise information and providing novel solutions to hard    
   problems.    
       
   This special issue aims at not only showcasing innovative    
   applications of soft computing techniques to bioinformatics, but    
   also clarifying outstanding issues for future progress.    
       
   Biological areas of interest include but are not limited to the    
   following:    
       
      * protein structure and function,    
      * genomics,    
      * proteomics,    
      * molecular sequence analysis,    
      * evolution and phylogenetics,    
      * molecular interactions and structure,    
      * gene expression,    
      * metabolic pathways,    
      * regulatory networks,    
      * developmental control and systems biology.     
       
   Papers should be submitted in PDF format via email to any of the    
   following guest editors by 30 March 2004:   
       
      * David Corne (D.W.Corne@exeter.ac.uk)   
      * Gary Fogel (gfogel@natural-selection.com)   
      * Jagath C. Rajapakse (asjagath@ntu.edu.sg)   
      * Lipo Wang (elpwang@ntu.edu.sg)
