Dear all,

A few ice-ages ago I promised you more info on ICSEB VI and the 
work-shop on nomenclature (in particular phylocode flavour and recent 
ideas) that Mikael H=E4rlin and yours truely are hosting at this 
meeting.

To find out more about the general meeting, please point your browser 
at http://www.icseb-vi.biology.upatras.gr/. The deadline for 
no-penalty registration is 30 March 2002, so time is as always a 
limiting factor=8A

Regarding the workshop, below is a paragraph on its scope. I hope as 
many as possible will be attending the meeting in Patras in general 
(the symposia looks very interesting) and the work-shop in 
particular. If you want to present a talk, you can contact me or 
Mikael H=E4rlin (mikael.harlin@ibp.vxu.se), as well as indicating your 
intention on the registration form.

Cheers,
Mikael

Taxon names in the bioinformatics age: Phylogenetic nomenclature and 
other alternatives

The paradigms in biology have changed considerably since Linnaeus 
introduced the binominal nomenclature in the 18th century. In 
particular, the view of systematics has tilted from a classification 
of things to a systematization of evolutionary histories. Considering 
this, de Queiroz and Gauthier proposed an alternative to the ranked, 
"traditional" legacy of the Linnean hierarchy as implemented by the 
International Codes of Nomenclature. These ideas, now referred to as 
phylogenetic nomenclature, in turn has generated some counter 
reactions, and nomenclatural principles currently present some 
interesting issues.

The aim of the work-shop is to provide a forum for presenting both 
theoretical and practical aspects of
- the principles of nomenclature in relation to our views on the nature of t=
axa
- impact of bioinformatics on nomenclature, both as a tool and by new 
requirements
