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unpublished original work describing recent advances on all aspects of 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 Deadline (Extended): March 15, 2009
Notification to Authors: March 25, 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 
<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.
Please find conference organization, workshops, special sessions, 
tutorials, keynotes, paper submission, author instructions and
