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 aspires to make a significant impact with only limited resources. Many constraints make the choice of venues for ISMB a tough challenge. Here, we describe those challenges and invite the contribution of ideas for solutions.
国际计算生物学学会(ISCB)组织了计算生物学和生物信息学领域最大的活动,即年度国际分子生物学智能系统会议(ISMB)。今年在长滩举行的 ISMB 2012 年会上,ISC 庆祝了其旗舰会议 20 周年。ISC 是一个年轻、精简、高效的学会,仅用有限的资源就渴望产生重大影响。许多限制因素使得 ISMB 会议地点的选择成为一个严峻的挑战。在这里,我们描述了这些挑战,并邀请您提出解决方案的建议。
