**********************************************************************************
The International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Intelligent
Computing (IJCBS'09) will take place in Shanghai, China on August 3rd - 6th,
2009. You are invited to submit papers with unpublished original work
describing recent advances on all aspects of Bioinformatics, Systems Biology
and Intelligent Computing, including, but not restricted to the following
topics:
Bioinformatics: Bio-molecular and phylogenetic databases, bio-languages, interoperability
in bio-databases, bio-ontology and data mining; identification and
classification of genes; sequence search and alignment; protein structure prediction
and molecular simulation; molecular evolution and phylogeny; functional
genomics, proteomics; drug discovery; gene _expression_ analysis; bioinformatics
engineering; bio-data visualization; algorithms, modeling and simulation of
bio-sets; biomarkers of toxicity; bio-imaging; signaling and computation,
genetics and genomics.
Systems Biology: Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, networks,
pipelines, mathematical and quantitative models of cellular and multicellular
systems, emergence of properties in complex biological systems, methods to
predict biological network behavior from incomplete information, statistical
modeling of biological data, prediction and validation, synthetic biological systems,
high performance bio-computing, self-organization in living systems (cells,
organisms, swarms, ecosystems, etc.), platforms for computational modeling of
living systems (parallel, distributed, and multi-resolution simulation
methods), differential, discrete and/or stochastic modeling-language frameworks,
applications of systems biology towards understanding disease mechanisms,
pharmaceutical drug discovery and drug target validation.
Intelligent Computing: Machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, agents,
neural computing, kernel methods, evolutionary computing, swarm intelligence
and optimization; feature selection/extraction; ensemble methods; manifold
learning theory; artificial life and artificial immune systems; technology to
develop artificial components, systematization methodology for intelligent
systems, and scientific principles related to artificial life.
*Important Dates *
Paper Submission: February 15, 2009
Notification to Authors: March 15, 2009
Camera-Ready, Full Papers: April 5, 2009
*Paper Submission and Publication *
IJCBS09 invites authors to submit papers using the link http://www.isibm.org/IJCBS/submission.html.
By submitting your paper to IJCBS'09, you implicitly state that the paper is based
on your own original research and that it was not and will not be submitted
elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 7 pages with standard IEEE CS formats. All
submitted papers should be written in English. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the work associated
with the paper submitted.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers of registered authors
will be included in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and
indexed in EI. Selected papers will be invited to adapt their papers for their
publication in several journals, including BMC Genomics, International Journal
of Data Mining & Bioinformatics, International Journal of Pattern Recognition
and Artificial Intelligence, Journal of Supercomputing, International Journal
of Computational Biology and Drug Design, IJFIPM and other SCI and PubMed
indexed journals.
*Other Information *
Awards will be granted to the best paper of those presented at the conference. The
IJCBS'09 will award a number of travel fellowships for students and authors of
outstanding papers.
