WCB 2018 - 13th International Workshop on Constraint Based Methods in Bioinformatics (WCB 2018)

During the last years, Biology has become a source of challenging problems for the entire field of Computer Science in general, and for the areas of computational logic and constraint programming in particular.Successful approaches to these problems are likely to have significant applications in several fields of research, such as medicine, agriculture, industry, etc. Several successful applications of the Logic and Constraint Programming paradigms in Bioinformatics have been carried out in the last years, in the area of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, in haplotype inference, in proteins structure prediction, in RNA secondary structure prediction, and in system biology, just to cite a few.
The workshop aims at exchanging ideas between researchers and collecting, if possible, new problems to be faced in the next future by our community.
There is a track of the ALMOB Journal (IF 1.786) devoted to these topics where extended, revised versions of WCB papers are particularly welcome.
