{pdf} Advances in Bioinformatics: 4th International Workshop on Practical Applications of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics 2010 (IWPACBB 2010) Liliana L?pez Kleine, V?ctor Andr?s Vera Ruiz (auth.), Miguel P. Rocha, Florentino Fern?ndez Riverola, Hagit Shatkay, Juan Manuel Corchado (eds.)

The fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology have been growing steadily over the last few years boosted by an increasing need for computational techniques that can efficiently handle the huge amounts of data produced by the new experimental techniques in Biology. This calls for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Data Integration, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
