This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Fifth
International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and
Biostatistics CIBB 2008 held in Vietri sul Mare Italy in October 2008. The 23 revised full
papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 69
submissions. The main goal of the CIBB meetings is to provide a forum open to researchers from
different disciplines to present and discuss problems concerning computational techniques in
bioinformatics systems biology and medical informatics with a particular focus on neural
networks machine learning fuzzy logic and evolutionary computation methods.
