CALL FOR PAPERS

Accepted Papers:

• 88 Computational Approaches to Supporting Large-Scale Analysis of Photoreceptor-Enriched Gene Expression 

• 89 Comparison of the Data-based and Gene Ontology-based Approaches to Cluster Validation Methods for Gene Microarrays

• 108 Incorporating Gene Ontology in Clustering Gene Expression Data

Call for papers in PDF format

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

• Ontologies

• Software Systems

Unlike workshops, where position papers and reports on initial and intended work are appropriate, papers selected for a special track should report on significant unpublished work suitable for publication as a conference paper. More information about the symposium, registration fees, venue can be found here: http://cbms2006.ece.byu.edu .

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 cover sheet, stating the track title (Special Track on Bioinformatics and its Medical Applications), 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 paper. Submit your manuscript no later than January 31, 2006. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 1, 2006 after a review process by three independent experts.  Each accepted paper to the Special Track on Bioinformatics and its Medical Applications will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE CS Press, conditional upon the author's advance registration. Papers that were not accepted by the Program Committee of the track can be considered for publication as regular submissions by the General Program Committee of IEEE CBMS 2006. Please note that the format of IEEE CBMS 2006 proceedings will be the IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch format. Submission is encouraged in this format. For more details please see the website of IEEE CBMS 2006: (http://cbms2006.ece.byu.edu/how.html#submission).

All submissions will be done electronically via the CBMS web submission system.
