This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2007, held in Portland, OR, USA in June 2007. It covers graph algorithms, combinatorics, scheduling, graph theory, network algorithms, game theory, option theory, computational geometry, graph theory and combinatorics, as well as networks and data.

This three-volume set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications. These volumes feature outstanding papers that present a wealth of original research results in the field of computational science, from foundational issues in computer science and mathematics to advanced applications in almost all sciences that use computational techniques.

We are pleased to present the proceedings of the Second Workshop on Al- rithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2002), which took place on September 17-21, 2002 in Rome, Italy. The WABI workshop was part of a three-conference me- ing, which, in addition to WABI, included the ESA and APPROX 2002. The three conferences are jointly called ALGO 2002, and were hosted by the F- ulty of Engineering, University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Seehttp://www.dis. uniroma1.it/ ̃algo02 for more details. The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics covers research in all areas of algorithmic work in bioinformatics and computational biology. The emphasis is on discrete algorithms that address important problems in molecular biology, genomics,andgenetics,thatarefoundedonsoundmodels,thatarecomputati- ally e?cient, and that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including signi?cant work in progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research. Original research papers (including signi?cant work in progress) or sta- of-the-art surveys were solicited on all aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, including, but not limited to: exact and approximate algorithms for genomics, genetics, sequence analysis, gene and signal recognition, alignment, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, structure determination or prediction, gene expression and gene networks, proteomics, functional genomics, and drug design.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Data Analysis, IDA 2001, held in Cascais, Portugal, in September 2001.The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of almost 150 submissions. All current aspects of this interdisciplinary field are addressed; the areas covered include statistics, artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, data mining, and interactive dynamic data visualization.

This is a pioneering work on the emerging field of artificial immune systems-highly distributed systems based on the principles of the natural system. Like artificial neural networks, artificial immune systems can learn new information and recall previously learned information. This book provides an overview of artificial immune systems, explaining its applications in areas such as immunological memory, anomaly detection algorithms, and modeling the effects of prior infection on vaccine efficacy.

This volume contains about 40 papers covering many of the latest developments in the fast-growing field of bioinformatics. The contributions span a wide range of topics, including computational genomics and genetics, protein function and computational proteomics, the transcriptome, structural bioinformatics, microarray data analysis, motif identification, biological pathways and systems, and biomedical applications. There are also abstracts from the keynote addresses and invited talks. The papers cover not only theoretical aspects of bioinformatics but also delve into the application of new methods, with input from computation, engineering and biology disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach to bioinformatics gives these proceedings a unique viewpoint of the field. Sample Chapter(s).
