MLSB11, the Fifth International Workshop on Machine Learning in

Systems Biology will be held in Vienna, Austria on July 20-21, 2011.

The aim of this workshop is to contribute to the cross-fertilization

between the research in machine learning methods and their

applications to systems biology (i.e., complex biological and medical

questions) by bringing together method developers and

experimentalists. We encourage submissions bringing forward methods

for discovering complex structures (e.g. interaction networks,

molecule structures) and methods supporting genome-wide data analysis.

The Workshop is organized as "Satellite Meeting" of the 19th Annual

International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology

(ISMB) and 10th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB).

We invite you to submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages

describing new or recently published (2011) results, formatted

according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science style.

Each extended abstract must be submitted online via the Easychair

submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlsb11

The extended abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific programme

committee. They will be selected for oral or poster presentation

according to their originality and relevance to the workshop topics.

Electronic versions of the extended abstracts will be accessible to

the participants prior to the conference, distributed in hardcopy form

to participants at the conference, and will be made publicly available

on the conference web site after the conference. However, the book of

abstracts will not be published and the extended abstracts will not

constitute a formal publication.
