the ip lookup process is a key bottleneck in routing due to the increase in routing table size, increasing traıc and migration to ipv6 addresses. the ip address lookup involves computation of the longest prefix matching (lpm), which existing solutions such as bsd radix tries, scale poorly when traıc in the router increases or when employed for ipv6 address lookups. in this paper, we describe a ...

PLoS Computational Biology is the official journal of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), a partnership that was formed during the Journal’s conception in 2005. With ISCB being the only international body representing computational biologists, it made perfect sense for PLoS Computational Biology to be closely affiliated. The Society had to take more of a chance than simi...

2015 marks the first year that the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) honors one of its members with the Outstanding Contributions to ISCB Award. This award recognizes an ISCB member who has made unique and lasting contributions to ISCB through exemplary leadership, education, service, or a combination of these elements. Lawrence (Larry) Hunter, Professor at the University o...

Computational biology and bioinformatics have grown into cutting-edge interdisciplinary fields essential to every realm of basic research in this age of modern genomics and open-source software. In light of this, the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) saw a need to estabish a program for the organization that recognized its members who made significant contributions to the f...

The International Society for Computational Biology, ISCB, organizes the largest event in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics, namely the annual international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, the ISMB. This year at ISMB 2012 in Long Beach, ISCB celebrated the 20th anniversary of its flagship meeting. ISCB is a young, lean and efficient society that aspi...

OBJECTIVE The roots of Chlorophytum borivilanum are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of arthritis and inflammation. The aim of the work was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of isolated saponins from Chlorophytum borivilianum (ISCB). METHODS The ISCB was screened using the carrageenan-induced paw edema, histamine-induced paw edema, cotton pellet-induced granuloma, and F...

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) recognizes the achievements of an early- to mid-career scientist with the Overton Prize each year. The Overton Prize was established to honor the untimely loss of Dr. G. Christian Overton, a respected computational biologist and founding ISCB Board member. Winners of the Overton Prize are independent investigators in the early to middle...

This report summarizes the scientific content and activities of the second edition of the Latin American Symposium (LA-SCS), organized by the Student Council (SC) of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), held in conjunction with the Fourth Latin American conference from the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB-LA 2016) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Novemb...

Since its establishment in 1997, International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) has contributed importantly toward advancing the understanding of living systems through computation. The ISCB represents nearly 3000 members working in >70 countries. It has doubled the number of members since 2007. At the same time, the number of meetings organized by the ISCB has increased from two in 200...
