IIBM 2008

2008 International Workshop on Intelligent Informatics in Biology and Medicine (IIBM 2008) http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/IIBM2008

in conjunction with Second International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2008) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/

March 4th - 7th, 2008

Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain

Theme:

Advances of information technologies have facilitated and accelerated the research on molecular biology and medicine in the past few decades. Great success has been achieved. However, to move further more sophisticated technologies are needed. The applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining in this area can help the researcher to discover new knowledge. This is a very important direction. This workshop wishes to attract state-of-the-art solutions and novel attempts in this field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

- Gene expression analysis - Gene identification and annotation - Protein/RNA structure prediction - RNAi and microRNA analysis - Sequence and structural motifs - Microarray analysis - Modeling of biochemical pathways - Drug design - Genomics and protemics - Systems biology - Medical signal/image processing - Computer assisted surgery - Medical/ healthcare informatics - Biomedical text mining and information extraction

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: October 20, 2007 Notification of acceptance: November 30, 2007 Author registration: December 15, 2007 Camera ready papers: January 15, 2008 Workshop Dates: March 4-7, 2008

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at one of the following web pages: http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html or http://www.tinmith.net/tabletop2006/IEEE/Format/instruct.htm

The authors should submit a full paper (6 pages), representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

The papers should be submitted electronically via CISIS�??08 website. Contact author must provide the following information of the paper: paper title, authors�?? names, affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the author(s), about 200-250 word abstract, and about five keywords.

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the conference. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. Proceedings of the CISIS-2008 conference and workshops will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
