The IEEE/ACM TCBB Steering Committee is pleased to announce that Dr. Dan Gusfield will serve as the inaugural EIC of the new title, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB), which is slated to begin publication in 2004. Dr. Gusfield is currently the Chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. His research has included building evolutionary trees, molecular sequence analysis, and population-scale genomics. Professor Gusfield's primary interests involve the efficiency of algorithms, particularly for problems in combinatorial optimization and graph theory. These algorithms have been applied to study data and computer security, stable matching, network flow, matroid optimization, and string/pattern matching problems. Currently, Professor Gusfield is focused on string and combinatorial problems that arise in computational biology and bioinformatics.

The IEEE/ACM TCBB is jointly published by the IEEE Computer Society, the Association for Computing Machinery, the IEEE Neural Networks Society, and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. It is also cosponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society.

This new quarterly will publish archival research results related to the algorithmic, mathematical, statistical, and computational methods that are central in bioinformatics and computational biology; the development and testing of effective computer programs in bioinformatics; the development and optimization of biological databases; and important biological results that are obtained from the use of these methods, programs, and databases. More information about subscribing or submitting to this new title can be found below.
