********************************************************************************* 



The fourth edition of the School of Biology, Computation and Information 
(BCI) aims at bringing
together teachers and Students of Biology, Mathematics and Computer 
Science.
The main goal of the School is to give an updated overview of 
interdisciplinary techniques
and problems cross-bordering the three fields.

During the school, on Wednesday 4th July, a one-day workshop will be held.
It will be titled "Patterns in strings: from biology to linguistics and 
back".
Excellence lecturers will be invited. The participants to the School may 
submit an abstract leading
to a twenty-minutes presentation during the workshop.
Abstracts will be sent to and selected/judged by the Scientific Committee.

WORKSHOP


Title: "Patterns in strings: from biology to linguistics and back"

Strings express a pervasive notion. The workshop aims at exchanging 
ideas which may be useful
for building bridges between different and seemingly unrelated fields, 
e.g. computational biology
and computational linguistics.
