The Fourth International Workshop on NETwork Tools and Application in Biology. The post-genomic era can be seen as characterized by two different scenarios: on the one hand, the huge amount of available biological data sets all over the world requires suitable tools and methods both for modelling biological processes and analyzing biological sequences; on the other, many new computational models and paradigms inspired and developed as metaphors of biological systems are ready to be applied in the context of computer science. It may now be a good time:
* (i) to report on the results achieved in these two areas
* (ii) to present some open problems in computational biology
* (iii) to advertise novel computational tools successfully applied to biological issues
* (iv) to spread the knowledge on computational models inspired by biological processes
* (v) to foster the application of computational models to govern real biological systems.
The workshop intends to bring together bioscientists and computer scientists and to compare their approaches and their ideas for solving computational biology open problems. In particular, we expect the participation of those who are developing novel bioinformatics tools and those who are working towards the vision of biological systems as a model for designing new tools.
