Call for Papers
Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium
(BIOT-2006)
Provo, Utah
October 20-21, 2006
http://www.biotconf.org/
=========================
Research and development in biotechnology requires the collaboration
of scientists and engineers in fields such as biology, chemistry,
computer science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering.
This symposium will bring together scientists, engineers and scholars
from relevant fields with practitioners from industry in order to
help each group to understand progress made in the area as a whole.
The Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium 2006 will be held in
Provo , Utah on October 20-21, 2006. It will be hosted by Brigham
Young University.
Topics of interest include:
Bio-molecular and Phylogenetic Databases
Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetic analysis
Drug Delivery Systems
Bio-Ontology and Data Mining
Sequence Search and Alignment
Microarray Analysis
System Biology
Pathway analysis
Identification and Classification of Genes
Protein Structure Prediction and Molecular Simulation
Functional Genomics
Proteomics
Tertiary structure prediction
Drug Docking
Gene Expression Analysis
Biomedical Imaging
Submissions
An extended abstract or a paper must report significant research
results, findings or advances within its own field. However, since
the symposium is geared toward a diverse audience of biologists,
computer scientists, chemists, engineers, technology transfer
individuals, graduate students, professors, industry individuals,
etc., the papers or extended abstracts must be presented in a lucid
manner accessible to such individuals. A pdf version of your paper
can be submitted at http://www.biotconf.org/papersubmission/openconf.php
Extended Abstract Submission
You should submit a two-page, single-spaced extended abstract by the
submission date given below. Each extended abstract must be in 10
point type, in 2-column format. The extended abstract must show the
names of the authors, their mailing and electronic addresses, and up
to 3 keywords. An extended abstract must contain a paragraph summary
of work followed by additional sections. Please note that sections in
an extended abstract must contain enough information so that
reviewers can judge the quality of work being reported. Thus, an
extended abstract is like a mini paper. Each extended abstract will
be reviewed. The accepted extended abstracts will be given several
weeks after acceptance notification for revisions based on reviewers'
comments. You must submit an updated camera-ready extended abstract
following a given format by the date specified below. These extended
abstracts will be printed in the Symposium proceedings.
Full Paper Submission
You submit a full paper of up to a maximum of 10 pages (following the
tradition used in the field of Computer Science) by the submission
date given below. Each paper must be in 10 point type, 2-column
format. The paper must show the names of the authors, their mailing
and electronic addresses, and up to 3 keywords on the top page. Each
paper must contain a paragraph abstract or summary followed by other
sections. Each paper will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be given
several weeks after acceptance notification for revision based on
reviewers' comments. You must submit an updated camera-ready paper by
the date specified below. The papers will be printed in the Symposium
proceedings. In keeping with the tradition of the bioinformatics and
computational biology areas, authors for these sub-fields are
strongly encouraged to submit full papers.
Journal Publication
The best papers from BIOT-2006 will be published in the International
Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications (IJBRA).
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: June 2, 2006 (Two pages of Extended Abstracts or
6 pages of Full Papers).
Acceptance Decision: July 17, 2006
Revised Camera Ready Extended Abstracts and Full papers due after
revision: August 11, 2006
Symposium Date: October 20 and 21, 2006
