The First International Conference on Intelligent Systems for
Molecular Biology will take place in Washington, DC, July 7-9,
1993.  The conference will bring together scientists who are
applying the technologies of artificial intelligence, robotics,
neural networks, massively parallel computing, advanced data
modelling, and related methods to problems in molecular biology.
Participation is invited from both producers and consumers of any
novel computational or robotic system, provided it supports a
biological task that is cognitively challenging, involves a
synthesis of information from multiple sources at multiple
levels, or in some other way exhibits the abstraction and
emergent properties of an "intelligent system."  The three-day
conference, to be held in the attractive conference facilities of
the Lister Hill Center, National Library of Medicine, National
Institutes of Health, will feature both introductory tutorials
and original, refereed papers, to be published by AAAI Press in an
archival proceedings.  The conference will immediately precede the
Eleventh National Conference of the American Association for
Artificial Intelligence, also in the Washington area.

Papers should be 12 pages, single-spaced and set in 12 point
type, including title, abstract, figures, tables, and
bibliography.  The first page should give keywords, postal and
electronic mailing addresses, telephone, and FAX numbers.
Submit 6 copies to the address below. For more information,
contact ISMB@nlm.nih.gov.
