It was recently requested that a newsgroup be initiated to cover computational biology and related issues. I would point out that I started such a newsgroup at the LISTSERV - LIFESCI. I have also initiated the processes to begin such a newsgroup under usenet. The newsgroup is interested in the use of computational and mathematical modeling and simulation in the life sciences and medicine. In fact, I am completing a book on Computational Issues In The Life Sciences and Medicine and am looking for papers/reprints/preprints/pictures on the subject, with particular reference to high performance computing and modeling. If you are interested in this area, please send me a short e-mail with the following questions answered: NAME: POSTAL ADDRESS: E-MAIL: FAX: PHONE: Brief Discussion of Interest Areas: This will be added to an already existant database which will soon be on line. I may be reached at the following address/phones: THANKS.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthew Witten, Ph.D. Director, Applications Research and Development Associate Director, University of Texas System Center For High Performance Computing Balcones Research Center, 1.154CMS 10100 Burnet Road Austin, TX 78758-4497 USA Phone: (512) 471-2457 or (512) 471-2472 FAX: (512) 471-2445 or (512) 471-2449 E-MAIL: M.WITTEN@HERMES.CHPC.UTEXAS.EDU M.WITTEN@UTCHPC.BITNET

Matthew, I have responded to the poster of the original message to detrmine if he wants us to call for a vote for such a newsgroup to be part of BIOSCI. You have a group and he was talking about starting a mailing list as well. We mght be able to better coordinate things if the demand is there. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
