Formal Methods in Systems Biology ; 1st International Workshop, FMSB 2008, Cambridge, UK, June 4-5, 2008. Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Formal Methods in Systems Biology, FMSB 2008, held in Cambridge, UK, in June, 2008.The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the workshop lectures that all were invited contributions. The purpose of this meeting was to identify techniques for the specification, development and verification of biological models. It also focused on the design of tools to execute and analyze biological models that can significantly advance our understanding of biological systems.
Designing green landscapes
This book presents the latest thinking in adaptive management for forest ecosystems. Based on the ‘multiple path’ principle, this approach links species choice and silvicultural methods with changing demands and changing environmental conditions, to ensure continuous adaptation, often several times within the lifetime of a tree. The ‘multiple path’ principle at the core of this approach represents a robust theoretical framework for designing forested landscapes. It provides a logical basis both for coordinating spatial objectives and for integrating varied forms of expertise; it limits planning horizons to realistic timeframes; and it allows for forecasts based on current real attributes of spatially explicit land parcels. This is in stark contrast with traditional forestry practices which simply assess the forest resource at regular time intervals and prescribe standard management schedules for specific forest types.
Computational methods in systems biology ; 6th International Conference CMSB 2008, Rostock, Germany, October 12-15, 2008. Proceedings

Computational intelligence in biomedicine and bioinformatics : Current trends and applications
The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of powerful state-of-the-art methodologies that are currently utilized for biomedicine and/ or bioinformatics-oriented applications, so that researchers working in those fields could learn of new methods to help them tackle their problems.
Comparative genomics ; International Workshop, RECOMB-CG 2008, Paris, France, October 13-15, 2008. Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th RECOMB Comparative Genomics Satellite Workshop, RECOMB-CG 2008, held in Paris, France, in October 2008.
Autoformation et aide au diagnostic en hématologie avec le logiciel ADH = Self-study and diagnostic aid in hematology with ADH software
The software includes a rich iconography on blood and marrow cells which will complement the knowledge in cytology of hematologists. Certain cytological abnormalities encountered in certain pathologies are also presented.
Applications of computational intelligence in biology : Current trends and open problems
The purpose of this book is to provide a medium for such an exchange of expertise and concerns. In order to achieve the goal, we have solicited cont- butions from both computational intelligence as well as biology researchers.
