Symposium on Algorithms (ESA '93), held in Bad Honnef, near Boon, in Germany, September 30 - October 2, 1993. The symposium is intended to launchan annual series of international conferences, held in early fall, covering the field of algorithms. Within the scope of the symposium lies all research on algorithms, theoretical as well as applied, that is carried out in the fields of computer science and discrete applied mathematics. The symposium aims to cater to both of these research communities and to intensify the exchange between them. The volume contains 35 contributed papers selected from...

This volume presents 18 revised full papers taken from the German Conference on Bioinformatics, GCB '96. The book addresses issues in computational biology and biologically inspired computing. The papers are organized in sections on biological and metabolic pathways, sequence analysis, molecular modelling, visualization, formal languages, and DNA.

Die Fachtagung Bioinformatik Bonn (Bffi'93) war die erste Fachtagung der Fachgruppe 4. 0. 2 'Informatik in den Biowissenschaften' in der Gesellschaft fUr Informatik e. V. Die Fachgruppe wurde zu Beginn des Jahres 1992 gegriindet mit dem Ziel, die von der Bundesregierung im Programm "Biotechnologie 2000. angesprochene Liicke im Bereich Informatik und Biowissenschaften zu schlieBen. Die Aufgaben der Fachgruppe liegen in der Verkniipfung von Informatik und Biologie mit folgenden Schwerpunkten: - Verflechtung moderner biotechnologischer Forschung mit anwendungsorientierter Entwicklung von...

The last decade has brought explosive growth in the technology for manufac- turing integrated circuits. Integrated circuits with several hundred thousand transistors are now commonplace. This manufacturing capability, combined with the economic benefits of large electronic systems, is forcing a revolution in the design of these systems and providing a challenge to those people in- terested in integrated system design. Modern circuits are too complex for an individual to comprehend completely. Managing tremendous complexity and automating the design process have become crucial issues. Two...
