The workshop  will provide a forum  for presenting  and exchanging new
ideas and experiences in this area.

Topics of   interest  include high performance   algorithms,  systems,
architecture, and tools for the following: (but are not limited to the
following list)

     * Microarray Analysis
     * RNAi Analysis
     * Systems Biology
     * Computational Genomics
     * Comparative Genomics
     * DNA Assembly, Clustering, and Mapping
     * Gene identification and annotation
     * Computational Proteomics
     * Evolution and Phylogenetics
     * Protein Structure Predication and Modeling
     * Medical Image Processing
     * Computer Assisted Surgery
     * Computational Medicine Modeling
     * Computational Biology Modeling
     * Augmented Reality
     * Medical Informatics

SUBMISSION INFORMATION:

Talks will  be accepted on the  basis of a  paper  of approximately 15
single-column pages that describes the work, its significance, and the
current status  of the  research.   Submit one  electronic copy of the
paper in PostScript or PDF format by February  15, 2005.  Please visit
the workshop home page for submission instructions.

Notification of   acceptance  will be  given by  March  22, 2005,  and
