Highlights from the first European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB 2002), held in conjunction with the German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB 2002), 6-9 October 2002, Saarbrücken, Germany.

2017 marks the second year of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Innovator Award, which recognizes an ISCB scientist who is within two decades of having completed his or her graduate degree and has consistently made outstanding contributions to the field. The 2017 winner is Dr. Aviv Regev, Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a Core Me...

Simulation software is often a fundamental component in systems biology projects and provides a key aspect of the integration of experimental and analytical techniques in the search for greater understanding and prediction of biology at the systems level. It is important that the modelling and analysis software is reliable and that techniques exist for automating the analysis of the vast amount...

We extend the definitions of upper and lower valuations on partially ordered sets, and consider the metrics they induce, in particular the metrics available (or not) based on the logarithms of such valuations. Motivating applications in computational linguistics and computational biology are indicated.
