"The workshop is designed for researchers
in the field of antiretroviral drug resistance and vaccine design.
The workshop program is a combination of theoretical and practical
aspects of HIV data management and mining. It will demonstrate practical
aspects of designing, storing, retrieving and analyzing genetic
data from both local and public sequence databases. The workshop will
also focus on the use of datamining software (such as WEKA) to uncover
knowledge important for drug resistance development and functional properties
of HIV proteins."
