Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to join us at the *ECCB Satellite Meeting on
Probabilistic Modelling in Computational Biology* in Sardinia. The meeting
will focus on *Probabilistic Methods for Dynamic System Models and Data
Integration in Computational Biology*.

The extraction of an improved biological understanding from genome-scale
quantitative measurements, like microarray data, has become a very active
area of bioinformatics research. The integration of data necessary for the
intelligent exploitation of contextual information provides a considerable
challenge. As recent work demonstrates, probabilistic approaches prove to be
promising, flexible tools in this endeavour.
The satellite meeting will explore current advances and open issues in
sessions presenting novel developments contributed by participants and
introduced by invited talks from leading researchers in the field. Confirmed
keynote speakers:
  *Mark Girolami*, Computing & Inferential Science, *Univ. of Glasgow*,
      U.K.
  *Satoru Miyano*, Human Genome Center, *University of Tokyo*, Japan.

This meeting follows a successful ISMB/ECCB affiliated PMCB 2007 workshop,
proceedings and photos of which can be found at
http://bioinf.boku.ac.at/pmcb2007/.  (Proceedings link)

We welcome submissions of extended abstracts by *17 August 2008* for short
presentations of recent work in the field. Poster facilities are also
provided.


Looking forward to seeing you this year in Sardinia,

David Kreil & David Wild
