Call for Paper

2008 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2008) http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm08/about/bibm-about.asp

Philadelphia, PA, USA Nov 7-9, 2008

IEEE BIBM 2008 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and biomedicine. It is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together academic and industrial scientists from computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. It will exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of bioinformatics and biomedicine and provide a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, simulation, ontology and other computational methods, as applied to life science problems, with emphasis on applications in high throughput data-rich areas in biology, biomedical engineering. IEEE BIBM 2008 intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists, biologists, biomedical engineers, chemist, data analyzer, statistician.

Topics of interests We are soliciting high quality original research papers (including significant works-in-progress) in any aspect of bioinformatics and biomedicine. New computational techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modeling and simulation and heir application in life science domain are especially encouraged. Relevant topics included, but are not limited to: Biological Data Mining High Performance Bio-computing Genomics, Comparative Genomics Biological Databases & Data Integration Biological Data Visualization Evolution and Phylogeny Molecular sequence analysis Healthcare Informatics Recognition of genes and regulatory elements Molecular evolution Proteomics, Protein structure, Computational proteomics Gene networks, Computational genetics Combinatorial libraries and drug design Computational systems biology Microarray design and data analysis BioOntologies Sequence Analysis Structural and functional genomics Synthetic Biological Systems Pathways, Networks , Systems Biology Text Mining & Information Extraction Transcriptomics BioMedical Devices with Embedded Computers Signal and Image Processing in BioMedicine BioMedical Image Segmentation and Compression BioMedical Intelligence and Data Warehousing BioMedical Databases & Information Systems , BioMedical Information Multimedia Biomedical Databases Intelligent Biomedical Knowledge Discovery Modeling signalling network Temporal and spatial mining of clinic data including medical images
