ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)The extremely successful workshop on Computational Molecular Biology featured worldrenowned speakers. The workshop served as a focused example of the very real interface between biology, statistics, and computing science. Much of the success of a conference can be measured in terms of the number of attendees and the number of contributed talks, which, for this Symposium, were approximately 400 and 116, respectively. These Proceedings include 78% of the contributed papers and 65% of the invited papers that were given in Seattle -a more than adequate representation of the work presented at the Symposium. SUBJECT TERMS IS. NUMBER OF PAGES 4 17 042The papers and discussions in this Proceedings volume are reproduced exactly as received from the authors. These presentations are presumed to be essentially as given at the 23rd Symposium on the Interface. This Proceedings volume is not copyrighted by the Interface Foundation of North America. Publication in the Proceedings does not preclude publication elsewhere. The extremely successful workshop on Computational Molecular Biology was organized by Simon Tavard and featured world-renowned speakers. The workshop served as a focused example of the very real interface between biology, statistics, and computing science. This theme was evident in the keynote address, "Opportunities for Statisticians and Computer Scientists in Biology", that was presented by Eric Lander. Burton Smith transported those that attended the banquet into the computing world of tomorrow by speaking on "Future Supercomputing". The talks presented in the workshop as well as the keynote and banquet addresses are not included in these Proceedings. AVAILABILITY OF PROCEEDINGSMuch of the success of a conference can be measured in terms of the number of attendees and the number of contributed talks, which, for this Symposium, were approximately 400 and 116, respectively. However, a significant indicator of the lasting enthusiasm that remains with the speakers after a conference has ended is their commitment to undertake the task of completing the manuscripts ...
