20th IEEE International Symposium on COMPUTER-BASED MEDICAL SYSTEMS (IEEE CBMS 2007)
Maribor, Slovenia
June 20-22, 2007 

Special Track: BIOINFORMATICS and its MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
http://www.cs.tcd.ie/~zamolota/CBMS_Bioinformatics07.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

IMPORTANT DATES

January 31, 2007          Deadline for paper submissions
March 15, 2007            Notification of acceptance
April 15, 2007              Final camera-ready paper (6 pages, maximum) due
April 15, 2007              Pre-registration deadline 

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, 2007. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2007 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 2007. For more details please see the website of IEEE CBMS 2006: (http://cbms2007.uni-mb.si/?id=6).
