See previous editions of CAMDA in: http://www.camda.duke.edu/. As you might know, CAMDA decided to become roving in the last edition and this is the first year for the conference to be held in Europe. CAMDA was founded to provide a forum to critically assess different techniques used in microarray data mining. It aims to establish the state-of-the-art in microarray data mining, as well as identify progress and highlight the direction for future efforts. In order to achieve these goals, CAMDA adopted the approach of community-wide experiment, letting the scientific community analyze the same standard data sets. Researchers worldwide are invited to take the CAMDA challenge. Accepted authors will be invited to give an oral presentation. Results of analysis are discussed and compared at the CAMDA conference.
