                         Call For Papers
 The Chemical Structure Association and the Molecular Graphics and
 Modelling Society announce their Second Joint Sheffield Conference
 on Chemoinformatics: Computational Tools for Lead Discovery.  The
 conference will be held in Stephenson Hall, University of Sheffield,
 UK from 9th to 11th April 2001.  Offers of papers are welcomed in all
 aspects of lead discovery.  Possible topics include (but are not limited
 to):
 * 3D databases, including docking and pharmacophore analysis;
 * assay QC and its influence on data mining;
 * chemical data mining;
 * descriptor validation;
 * design of leadlike combinatorial libraries;
 * design of screening collections;
 * e-business to facilitate lead discovery;
 * novel software and hardware systems for lead discovery;
 * selective compound acquisition from in house and commercial suppliers;
 * similarity and clustering methods;
 * structure-activity methods for lead identification and early
   optimisation;
 * structure-based design for lead identification and early optimisation;
 * virtual screening;
 * case histories incorporating any of the above.
 Authors interested in submitting a paper for consideration should
 send a title and brief abstract to Val Gillet (v.gillet;at;sheffield.ac.uk)
 by 15th September 2000.  Further details of the conference and
 registration information will follow later in the year and will be posted
 at www.shef.ac.uk/cisrg/shef2001.
