INTRODUCTION =============
After the reference genomes of many organisms are sequenced in the post-genetic era, an important issue is to do the re-sequencing or de novo sequencing of individual genomes with high-throughput reads. In the recent years, Next Generational Sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as Illumina/Solexa, ABI/SOLiD and Roche/454 Pyrosequencing are revolutionizing the acquisition of genomics data. NGS technologies are rapidly changing the approach to complex genomic studies, opening the way to personalized drugs development and personalized medicine. NGS technologies are characterized by a massive throughput for relatively short-sequences (reads). NGS datasets are continuing to increase in size, and even small genomic projects now generate terabytes of data. Therefore new computational methods are needed, specifically designed for the type and the amount of data generated by NGS technologies, to replace earlier commonly used genome alignment algorithms that are unable to cope with such massive amount of data. For instants, the development of NGS is forcing a reconsideration of the computational methods used for genome analysis, with the problems of read mapping and genome assembly becoming much more complex (billion of reads). The huge scale of these datasets now poses a great computational challenge: how can we improve software pipelines to analyze data more efficiently? In addtiona, genomic data analysis in evolutionary biology is becoming computationally intensive that analysis of multiple hypotheses and scenarios need hugh computing resources.
HPCB 2016 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to the High Performance Computing for bioinformatics and all kinds of successful and potential applications.
SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ HPCB2016 seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics:
*Parallel algorithm on bioinformatics *Multi-cores and Many-cores system for NGS data analysis and applications *GPU for NGS data analysis and applications *Cloud computing for bioinformatics and applications *Computational evolutionary biology *Scalable computing for evolutionary genomics *Database technologies for big biological dataset
We invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on the areas related to this workshop. All papers will undergo peer review by the conference program committee. All papers accepted will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to special issues in prestigious SCI-indexed Journals. *Evolutionary Bioinformatics (SCI)
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 10 pages with the over length charge). including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts). You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. Please submit your paper through for HPCB 2016.
