                 The research within the section ALgorithms and
                 Programmethodology (ALP) is concentrated around the
                 topics Bioinformatics, Coordination, Optimization and
                 Data Mining. \\ * {\bf Bioinformatics} \\ The
                 application of computer science technology for solving
                 problems in biochemistry and genomics. The expertise in
                 molecular biology, medicinal chemistry and computer
                 science with particular aspects on data mining and
                 adaptive search and optimisation comes together in a
                 way that allows for the exploitation of
                 interdisciplinary synergies between these disciplines.
                 Research is conducted on projects related to using
                 molecular biology to implement evolutionary algorithms
                 (Evolutionary DNA Computing), using data mining
                 techniques for drug design (intelligent data analysis
                 for drug design), and using optimisation methods to
                 support the drug design process (optimisation of drug
                 structures). \\ * {\bf Coordination} \\ Software
                 systems are difficult to mantain due to their inherent
                 complexity. Coordination of components in Software
                 Systems studies how complex systems can be constructed
                 from components using a clear distinction between
                 individual components and their coordinated
                 interaction. \\ * {\bf Optimization} \\
                 Many problems can be described as an optimization
                 problem in which, within certain constraints, optimal
                 values have to be found for the variables. The
                 techniques that are used are stemming from Simulated
                 Evolution, in particular from Evolutionary Computation
                 Research is being done on the development of new
                 algorithms, on the applicability on benchmark problems
                 and on concrete {"}real-life{"} cases. \\ * {\bf Data
                 Mining} \\ Data Mining looks for hidden patterns in
                 large amounts of data. Within ALP the focus is on
                 assocation rules and on techniques from the area of
                 Natural Computation.",
