The Chemical Structure Association Trust and the Molecular Graphics and 
Modelling Society announce their Fourth Joint Sheffield Conference on 
Chemoinformatics.  The conference will be held in The Octagon Centre and 
the Stephenson and Tapton Halls of Residence, University of Sheffield, 
UK, from 18th-20th June 2007.

Offers of papers are welcomed in all aspects of chemoinformatics. 
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
* High-Throughput Screening, including: assay quality control; design of 
  screening collections; systems based design

* Virtual Screening including, including: docking and pharmacophore 
  analysis,  similarity and clustering methods; machine learning

* Computational Methods for Lead Identification and Optimisation 
  including: modelling and structure-activity methods; structure-based 
  design; ADMET prediction

* New Algorithms and Technologies including: data mining; searching 
  methods; distributed processing; data handling and visualisation;

* Case Histories, incorporating practical experience of any of the above

The programme will have space for ca. two dozen oral presentations, and 
there will also be extensive opportunities for poster presentations. 
Authors wishing to submit a paper should send a title and abstract 
(minimum 500 words) by 31st January 2007 to cheminf2007 ~ sheffield.ac.uk, 
stating whether they wish to be considered for an oral or for a poster 
presentation.

Submissions will be selected as either oral contributions or posters by 
the Organising Committee, with notification of acceptance by 28th 
February 2007.  In selecting papers for oral presentation, the Committee 
will seek to achieve a balance between the various areas of the subject 
and between new methodologies and successful applications of existing 
techniques.

Further details of the conference, including registration information 
and opportunities for sponsorship and participation in the conference 
exhibition will follow later in the year, and will be posted at the 
conference website <a href="http://cisrg.shef.ac.uk/shef2007/" target="_blank">http://cisrg.shef.ac.uk/shef2007/</a></pre>
