The organizing committee can report that the level of interest raised by the First and Second Conferences has been sustained and
increased. A distinguished program committee, comprising a cross-section of biologists and computer scientists, who are actively
engaged in addressing problems in molecular biology using advanced computational methods, has again been assembled from 8
different countries. The call for papers produced 88 submissions which were of a high standard and which reflected the international nature of the Conference, in that submissions were received from North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia.
