ECCB Conference Format

With ECCB 2002, the European Computational Biology Community started a new revolving conference scheme. Within this scheme, a different country or region hosts the European ECCB event every year. The successful regional bioinformatics conferences, e.g., the German Bioinformatics Conference (GCB), Les journees ouvertes en biologie, informatique et mathematiques (JOBIM), the Scandinavian Bioinformatics Conference etc., are integrated into this scheme in the respect that one of these conferences may be elevated to ECCB if the corresponding region is hosting ECCB in the respective year. The conference covers computational methods for molecular biology that arise in the context of genomics and proteomics technologies in the fields of molecular biology, molecular medicine and pharmaceutics. Biological areas of interest include molecular sequence analysis, phylogenetics and evolution, molecular structure, molecular docking and drug design, metabolic and regulatory networks, gene expression and regulation, gene and protein function, modeling of cellular processes, and analysis of genetic variations. Computational methods covered in the conference include machine learning, pattern recognition, knowledge representation, databases, combinatorial optimization, stochastic modeling, string and graph algorithms, computer linguistics, robotics, constraint satisfaction and parallel computation.

With its partner conference series RECOMB and ISMB, the ECCB conference series is one of the major international conference series in bioinformatics.
