The AAAI-13 workshop on “Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Methods in Computational Biology” provides a forum for AI and Robotics researchers with diverse backgrounds in search, planning, learning, evolutionary computation, constraint programming, machine learning, data mining, etc., to exchange their views, treatments, and findings on important open problems in protein and nucleic acid modeling relating to biomolecular structure prediction, motion simulation, design, and more. The objective of the workshop is to promote interactions for cross-pollination of ideas, lead towards more powerful treatments, and in turn allow further progress in computational biology.
