This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Data Integration in the Life Sciences, DILS 2005, held in San Diego, CA, USA in July 2005.

The 20 revised full papers presented together with 8 revised posters and demonstration papers, 2 keynote articles and 5 invited position statements were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on user applications, ontologies, data integration, and others and address all current issues in data integration from the life science point of view.

The revised lectures presented in this volume are based on a course given by leading scholars at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Martina Franca, Italy, in July 2000.
The 11 revised chapters presented were carefully revised and cross-reviewed in order to provide competent coverage of mathematical methods for protein structure analysis and design. The topics addressed pinpoint major issues arising in the development and analysis of models, algorithms, and software tools devoted to the structure of proteins, all of which play crucial roles in structural genomics and proteomics.

The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Distributed, High-Performance and Grid Computing in Computational Biology, GCCB 2006, held in Eilat, Israel in January 2007 in conjunction with the 5th European Conference on Computational Biology, ECCB 2006. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from many high quality submissions.
