The primary focus of BIRD '07 is to provide researchers and users in the field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new research directions, developments, and software/web services.
It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical problems by computer science, machine learning, or information processing tools.
The conceptual level of the methods range from theoretical approaches through the design of algorithms, models, and information processing systems through to the development of software packages and web services.
The program committee seeks contributions, which topics include, but are not limited to:
* *
* Algebraic Biology * Databases & Data Integration * Drug Design * Ontologies & Textmining * Evolution and Phylogenetics * Genomics * Gene and Splice Site Recognition * Machine Learning and Data Analysis * Gene Expression/Regulation & Microarrays * MicroRNA and RNAi * Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment Support * Molecular Dynamics * Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology * Phylogenetics & Molecular Evolution * Protein & RNA Structure and Function * Proteomics * Sequence Analysis & Alignment * SNPs and Haplotyping * Systems Biology and Modelling

*Paper and Poster Submission Details: *Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or experience reports in English. Paper registration and electronic submission will start in August 2006.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
*Papers:* Please submit your paper as PDF file only. Paper submissions in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) would be highly appreciated. In order to avoid problems in viewing and printing your paper, please, only use embedded fonts. Please, do not use language extensions (e.g., Chinese language support) neither in texts nor in figures. The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format. Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from formatting requirements may be rejected without review.
*Posters:* Please submit an extended abstract or short paper version of your poster as PDF file only.
*Important Dates:*
* Submission of Full Papers: September 22, 2006 * Noification of Acceptance: November 20, 2006 * Camera-ready Copies of papers: December 20, 2006
