                             Call For Papers:

           Special Issue on Algorithms for Computational Biology

                   Editors: Dan Gusfield and Ming Y. Kao

Scope of the Issue:
Submissions are invited for a special issue of Algorithmica on Algorithms
for Computational Biology. This issue will be a follow-on to two earlier
special issues on computational molecular biology and on string algorithms.
Papers are solicited on all aspects of computational molecular biology or
molecular computing.  Experimental as well as theoretical work is invited.
Current surveys or reviews are welcome.  Submission of algorithmic work on
topics strongly motivated by computational biology, but not of direct
application, is also encouraged.

Important Dates:
 o Submission Deadline: June 1, 1997.
 o Acceptance Decision: by December 31, 1997.
 o Final Version Due: January 31, 1998.
 o Publication Date: tentatively by June 30, 1998.

Electronic Submission:
Submission by email is preferred.  Please email a postscript file of your
manuscript together with a plain text cover letter to either
gusfield@cs.ucdavis.edu or kao@cs.duke.edu.

Postal Submission:
Please send five copies of a manuscript to the following address and
specify in the cover letter that the submission is for the special issue on
computational biology.
