SPECIAL TRACK

Bioinformatics and its Medical Applications

Special Track "Bioinformatics and its Medical Appliactions" 2006

Accepted ST Papers:

• 154 - A High-throughput Bioinformatics Distributed Computing Platform

• 161 - Prediction of Type II Maturity Onset Diabetes Using Backpercolation

• 174 - Biclustering of Expression Data Using Simulated Annealing

• 195 - An Ontology-Driven Clustering Method for Supporting Gene Expression Analysis

CALL FOR PAPERS

Major computational challenges have been raised in the post-genomic era. Novel computational methods and approaches are required to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyse and visualize the large amount of biological and biomedical data. The goal of the track is to share ideas related to bioinformatics challenge among biological, biomedical and computer scientists. 

Authors are invited to submit original papers addressing any computational biology issue. Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following key themes:

• Biomedical Research

• Evolution and Phylogenetics

• Data Mining in Bioinformatics

• Microarray Analysis

• RNAi Analysis

• Sequence Alignment

• Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology

• Functional Genomics

• Visualization

• Protein Structure and Analysis

• Comparative Genomics

• Pattern Recognition

• Software Systems

IMPORTANT DATES

You must pre-register to have your paper published in the proceedings. If you only plan to attend and are not submitting a paper, pre-registration is still strongly encouraged. This conference is space-limited, and registration may not be available on-site.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES FOR PAPER

• No hardcopy submissions are being accepted;

• Electronic submissions of original technical research papers will only be accepted in PDF format. File size is limited to 2 MB;

• Use a maximum of six A4 pages, including figures and references;

• Include one additional cover sheet, stating the paper title, authors, technical area(s) covered in the article, corresponding author's information (telephone, fax, mailing address, e-mail address), and your preference for oral or poster presentation;

• Author names should appear only on the cover sheet, not on the summary;

• Submission in the IEEE Computer Science Press 6x9-inch format is encouraged;

• Formatting instructions, LaTeX macros and MSWord templates are available at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings

• Authors should indicate the special track title (Bioinformatics and its Medical Applications) on the cover sheet;

• All submissions should be done electronically via the IEEE CBMS 2005 web submission system at: http://www.cs.tcd.ie/research_groups/mlg/CBMS2005/openconf

Submit your manuscript no later than February 7, 2005. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 1, 2005 after a review process by three independent experts.  Each accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE CS Press, conditional upon the author's advance registration.
