Workshop at ICLP07
September 8-13, 2007
Porto, Portugal

Description

Bioinformatics is a recent discipline that has already captured the interests of many researchers. This wide and fast evolving field of research suggests new complex challenges to computer science. The applications of new achievements can be beneficial to medicine, agriculture, and/or industry. To pick out only a few examples, Bioinformatics tackles problems related to:

All these problems can be naturally formalized using constraints over finite domains or intervals of reals. Biology is a source of extremely interesting and challenging problems that can be encoded exploiting the application of recent and more general techniques of constraint programming. In this framework, some problems that have been successfully tackled are:

The main aim of this workshop is twofold. On the one hand, to share recent results in this area (new constraint solving techniques, new prediction and simulation programs). On the other hand, to present new challenging problems formalized and/or solved with constraint based methods.
