Abstract

The second Dagstuhl Seminar on emph{Computational Proteomics} took place
  from March 3rd to 7th, 2008 in Schloss Dagstuhl--Leibniz Center for
  Informatics.  This highly international meeting brought together researchers
  from computer science and from proteomics to discuss the state of the art
  and future developments at the interface between experiment and theory.
  This interdisciplinary exchange covered a wide range of topics, from new
  experimental methods resulting in more complex data we will have to expect
  in the future to purely theoretical studies of what level of experimental
  accuracy is required in order to solve certain problems.  A particular focus
  was also on the application side, where the participants discussed more
  complex experimental methodologies that are enabled by more sophisticated
  computational techniques.  Quantitative aspects of protein expression
  analysis as well as posttranslational modifications in the context of
  disease development and diagnosis were discussed.  The seminar sparked a
  number of new ideas and collaborations and has resulted in several joint
  grant applications and paper submissions.

  This paper describes the seminar topics, its goals and results.  The
  executive summary is followed by the abstracts of the presentations given.
  Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.
