Purpose and historyThe goal of EURO Working Group on the Operational Research in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics and Medicine (EWG CBBM) is to promote and to facilitate communication links among European (and other) researchers working in areas of operational research in computational biology, bioinformatics and Medicine.

The broad aims of the EWG CBBM are:

(1) to establish an open forum of exchange, scientific life and collaboration using modern methods of OR within EURO, integrating already existing groups, impulses and individuals from European and international Operational Research in the emerging fields of biological problems and perspectives in data management, analysis and technologies;

(2) to integrate researchers and practitioners in OR to overcome the scientific challenges in medicine, pharmacy, food production, conservation of genetic wealth, alternative energy generation and of development. Herewith, embedded into and for the best of the scientific landscape and calendar of EURO and its existing working groups and chapters;

(3) this group looks for giving valuable contributions to building up our countries and their friendship, to welfare, freedom and peace in and among the nations and continents.

EWG CBBM was established with numerous founding members at a satellite meeting of the EURO XXI 2006 Conference in Iceland, July 2-5, 2006. The EWG attracted 121 members during the past year and sponsored a scientific event on (Workshop on Networks in Computational Biology) on September 10-12, 2006. As a result of this workshop, a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics Journal has been prepared.
