Contributions are now sought in areas such as: the design of diverse and focussed libraries; algorithms and methods for the selection of database subsets; the representation and searching of combinatorial libraries and analogous virtual databases; the design and use of both in-house and commercial software for diversity analysis; diversity indices; compararison of property-based and fingerprint-based (dis)similarity measures; and the integration of diversity analysis with other computational tools, such as docking and QSAR. People wishing to present their work should submit a 500-word abstract (preferably by email) to Dr V.J. Gillet, Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK (tel. 044-114-2222652, fax 044-1142780300, email v.gillet@sheffield.ac.uk) by 1st October 1997.
