The growth in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology fields
over the last few years has been remarkable and the trend is to
increase its pace. In fact, the need for computational techniques
that can efficiently handle the huge amounts of data produced by
the new experimental techniques in Biology is still increasing
driven by new advances in Next Generation Sequencing, several types
of the so called omics data and image acquisition, just to name a
few. The analysis of the datasets that produces and its integration
call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as
Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization,
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Within this scenario
of increasing data availability, Systems Biology has also been
emerging as an alternative to the reductionist view that dominated
biological research in the last decades. Indeed, Biology is more
and more a science of information requiring tools from the
computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the
surge of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists that have
a strong background in the biological and computational sciences.
In this context, the interaction of researchers from different
scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance
boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the
education of a new generation of Bioinformatics scientists.
PACBB'11 hopes to contribute to this effort promoting this fruitful
interaction. PACBB'11 technical program included 50 papers from a
submission pool of 78 papers spanning many different sub-fields in
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Therefore, the conference
will certainly have promoted the interaction of scientists from
diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer
scientists, mathematicians, biologists). The scientific content
will certainly be challenging and will promote the improvement of
the work that is being developed by each of the participants.
