[BiO BB] Call for Special Track "BIOINFORMATICS and its MEDICAL APPLICATIONS"

[Nadia Bolshakova]

The 19th IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems 
Special Track: BIOINFORMATICS and its MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Special Track Webpage: http://www.cs.tcd.ie/Nadia.Bolshakova/CBMS_Bioinformatics06.html

CALL FOR PAPERS

Major computational challenges have been raised in the post-genomic era. Novel computational 
methods and approaches are required to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyse and visualize 
the large amount of biological and biomedical data. The goal of the track is to share ideas related 
to bioinformatics challenge among biological, biomedical and computer scientists. 
Authors are invited to submit original papers addressing any computational biology issue. 

Papers are invited (but not limited) to the following key themes:
Biomedical Research 
Evolution and Phylogenetics 
Data Mining in Bioinformatics 
Microarray Analysis 
RNAi Analysis 
Sequence Alignment 
Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology 
Functional Genomics 
Visualization 
Protein Structure and Analysis 
Comparative Genomics 
Pattern Recognition 
Ontologies 
Software Systems 

Unlike workshops, where position papers and reports on initial and intended work are appropriate, 
papers selected for a special track should report on significant unpublished work suitable for 
publication as a conference paper. More information about the symposium, registration fees, venue 
can be found here: http://cbms2006.ece.byu.edu.

IMPORTANT DATES
January 31, 2006 Submission of (6-page, maximum) paper
March 1, 2006  Notification of acceptance
April, 5, 2006  Final camera-ready paper due
April, 8, 2006  Pre-registration deadline
May 22, 2006  Hotel room reservations due
You must pre-register to have your paper published in the proceedings. If you only plan to 
attend and are not submitting a paper, pre-registration is still strongly encouraged. 
This conference is space-limited, and registration may not be available on-site.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES FOR PAPER
No hardcopy submissions are being accepted. Electronic submissions of original technical research papers 
will only be accepted in PDF format. File size is limited to 2 MB. Use a maximum of six A4 pages, including 
figures and references. Include one cover sheet, stating the track title (Special Track on Bioinformatics 
and its Medical Applications), paper title, authors, technical area(s) covered in the article, corresponding 
author's information (telephone, fax, mailing address, e-mail address), and your preference for oral or 
poster presentation. Author names should appear only on the cover sheet, not on the paper. Submit your 
manuscript no later than January 31, 2006. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 1, 2006 after 
a review process by three independent experts.  Each accepted paper to the Special Track on Bioinformatics 
and its Medical Applications will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE CS Press, conditional 
upon the author's advance registration. Papers that were not accepted by the Program Committee of the track 
can be considered for publication as regular submissions by the General Program Committee of IEEE CBMS 2006. 
Please note that the format of IEEE CBMS 2006 proceedings will be the IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch 
format. Submission is encouraged in this format. For more details please see the website of 
IEEE CBMS 2006: (http://cbms2006.ece.byu.edu/how.html#submission).

All submissions will be done electronically via the CBMS web submission system.
