Selected events

Svetlin Manavski selected to ba part of the Technical Review Committee Members of the 2007 IEEE International Conference of Signal Processing and Communications ( ICSPC 2007 ). List of the technical reviewers of the conference

Svetlin Manavski was a speaker of the 2007 annual congress of the Italian Bioinformatics Society (B.IT.S), April
26-28th in Naples.
The presented research is a result of an intensive collaboration with CRIBI (Research Center for Innovative Biotechnologies), University of Padua. It consists of an accelerated implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm for alignment of proteins and DNA sequences using graphics cards (GPGPU). An 
abstract of the presentation is available on the BITS web site.
