The DNA Barcode Data Analysis Initiative (DBDAI):
Developing Tools for a New Generation of Biodiversity Data

July 6 - 8, 2006
The National Museum of Natural History, Paris, France

Organizers:
Javier Cabrera, Rutgers University, cabrera@stat.rutgers.edu
Fred Roberts, DIMACS, froberts@dimacs.rutgers.edu

Michel Veuille, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, veuille@mnhn.fr

Presented under the auspices of the DIMACS/BioMaPS/MB Center Special Focus on Information Processing in Biology.

This special focus is jointly sponsored by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), the Biological, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences Interfaces Institute for Quantitative Biology (BioMaPS), and the Rutgers Center for Molecular Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry (MB Center).

This workshop is jointly sponsored with the ESF program Integrating population genetics and conservation biology: merging theoretical, experimental and applied approaches (ConGen).

This workshop is an activity of the Data Analysis Working Group of the Consortium for the Barcode of Life. For more information about the activities of this working group, see http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/DNAInitiative/.


Call for Participation:

Contributed papers are encouraged. Please provide a title and an abstract of at most one page and send to Lindac@dimacs.rutgers.edu. Abstracts are due by June 2, 2006 and decisions about acceptance of papers will be made by June 23, 2006.

Financial support is expected to be available for some of the authors of contributed papers, especially students and postdoctoral fellows. See http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/DNABarcode/travelsupport.html for explanation of financial support.
