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 in an archival 
Proceedings.  The conference will immediately precede the 
Eleventh National Conference of the American Association for 
Artificial Intelligence, also in Washington.

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 shown. For more information, 
contact ISMB at nlm.nih.gov.
