EVOBIO 2008

EvoBIO covers research in all aspects of Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics.

The goal of the conference is to not only present recent research results and to identify and explore directions of future research, but also stimulate synergy and cross fertilization among Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining for Bioinformatics.

The emphasis is on novel advanced techniques addressing important problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics, that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real-life datasets.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


 * biomarker discovery
 * cell simulation and modelling
 * ecological modelling
 * fluxomics
 * gene networks
 * high-throughput biotechnology
 * metabolomics
 * microarray analysis
 * phylogeny
 * protein interaction
 * proteomics
 * sequence analysis and alignment
 * biological networks analysis
 * sequence analysis and alignment
 * biological networks analysis
 * systems biology

EvoBIO started in 2002 as workshop organized by the EvoNet (European Network of Excellence in Evolutionary Computation) working group on bioinformatics, and was held annually since then.

The conference will be held in conjunction with the EuroGP (11th European Conference on Genetic Programming), EvoCOP 2008 (8th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization) and EvoWorkshops 2008, the specialist workshops on a range of evolutionary computation topics and applications.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, published in Springer LNCS Series, which will be available at the conference. The accepted papers of the previous editions of EvoBIO were published in the Springer LNCS 2611, 3005, 3449, 3449, 3449, 3907, 4447, respectively. This CfP was obtained from WikiCFP
