The primary focus of BIRD '08 is to provide researchers and users in the field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new research directions, developments, and software/web services.
It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical problems by computer science, machine learning, or information processing tools. The conceptual level of the methods range from theoretical approaches through the design of algorithms, models, and information processing systems through to the development of software packages and web services.
