Conference Report: PSB'2000 Todd Wareham Department of Computer Science Memorial University of Newfoundland harold@cs.mun.ca The Fifth Annual Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB'2000) took place January 4-8, 2000 at the Waikiki Sheraton in Honolulu, Hawaii. After an initial day of tutorials, 38 talks spread over 10 topic-tracks were given over the next four days, as well as one keynote address and a well-attended poster session with more than 60 displays. The symposium proceedings were published by World Scientific Press and are also available on-line (see below). There were roughly 240 attendees. Two approximate breakdowns of these attendees are 180 North American, 30 Asian and 30 Europe/Russia/Israel (by geography) and 110 university, 80 industrial, and 50 government laboratory (by institution). Though most of the attendees were academics, the talks focused on applied rather than theoretical aspects of biocomputing, and the mix of indus/rial and academic researchers ensured that interaction both within and outside of the sessions was lively and interesting. The meeting started with a day devoted to three-hour tutorials on gene expression analysis via microarrays, genetic network analysis, computational methods for protein structure prediction, and bioinformatics programming in Python (scheduled tutorials on Bayesian inference algorithms and modeling biological evolution
