The second Pacific Symposium on Biocompting (PSB), will be held January 6-9,
1997 in Maui, Hawaii.  PSB will bring together top researchers from the
North America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to
exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of
computational biology.  

To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing, PSB is
organized into a series of specific sessions and workshops.  Each session
will involve both formal research presentations and open discussion groups.
This is a call for papers for the session, "Stochastic Models and Grammars
in Biology."

This track is intended to cover hidden Markov models, stochastic context
free grammars and other types of stochastic models and grammars for the
analysis, alignment, classification for the bio-sequences and their
structures and functions. This track follows the concepts of previous two
tracks in HICSS (1994, Stochastic Models and Grammars for Bioinformatics)
and PSB (1995, Stochastic Models, Formal Systems and Algorithmic Discovery
in Genome Informatics).

The core of the conference consists of rigorously peer-reviewed full-length
papers reporting on original work.  Accepted papers will be published in a
hardbound archival proceedings, and the best of these will be presented
orally to the entire conference.  Papers may be up to 12 pages in length,
and, each paper must be accompanied by a cover letter stating that it
contains original unpublished results not currently under consideration
elsewhere and that all co-authors concur with its contents.
To submit a full paper "Stochastic Models and Grammars in Biology," send
5 copies of manuscripts and their PostScript file (by Email) no later than
July 1, 1996 to:

are encouraged to submit an abstract of up to two pages, and present their
work in discussion, poster and demonstration sessions.
