This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Knowledge Discovery and Emergent Complexity in Bioinformatics, KDECB 2006, held in Ghent, Belgium, in May 2006, in connection with the 15th Belgium-Netherlands Conference on Machine Learning. The 12 revised full papers cover various topics in the areas of knowledge discovery and emergent complexity research in bioinformatics.
