This three volume series represents a selected and refereed collection of papers contributed by the participants of the First World Congress on Computational Medicine, Public Health, and Biotechnology, held in 1994 at Austin, Texas. Over 500 individuals, from 30 countries attended this meeting. In addition, this collection contains a number of papers from the Australian CSIRO High Performance Computing Meeting held that same year.
