About this title

Synopsis

Originating from the ARTISYST workshop, an interdisciplinary conference on the application of modern computer methods to research in systematic biology, organized by the U. of California, Davis, and held at Napa, Calif., September 1990, this volume contains 30 papers in five areas of systematic biology research that show particular promise of benefiting from modern computer techniques: expert workstations for systematics; identification; phylogenetic trees; database and geographical information systems; and machine vision. Includes the workshop report to the NSF, and an annotated bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review

"A computer scientist will learn the basic ideas, methods, and requirements of systematic biology from this book. Biological scientists will discover the application of modern computer methods and software to their study area." -- Perspectives in Biology and Medicine
