SCOPE:

This symposium will bring together top researchers, practitioners, and students
from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of
Computational Intelligence and its application to real world problems in
biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics,
bioengineering and related fields.

Computational Intelligence (CI) approaches includes artificial neural networks,
fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, hybrid approaches and other emerging
techniques.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
     - high-throughput data analysis (microarrays, mass spectrometry, EST, etc.)
     - molecular docking and drug design
     - RNA and protein folding  and structure prediction
     - metabolic pathway analysis
     - analysis of large biological data sets
     - single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis
     - immuno- and chemo-informatics
     - molecular evolution and phylogenetics
     - bio and medical ontologies
     - microRNA gene expression analysis
     - molecular sequence alignment and analysis
     - systems and synthetic biology
     - emergent properties in complex biological system
     - computational proteomics
     - motif and signal detection
     - medical image analysis and pattern recognition
     - in-silico optimization of biological systems

The use of computational intelligence must play a substantial role in submitted
papers. Submissions will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings and will be indexed in IEEE eXplore.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than
eight (8) pages in IEEE conference format, including results, figures and
references. Submission details can be found on the symposium web
site at: www.cibcb.org/CIBCB2010. Authors are expected to present their  paper
at the symposium.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS and TUTORIALS:

Consult the CIBCB'10 symposium web site for instructions on proposing a special
session or tutorial.  Papers for special sessions must have significant
computational intelligence content.

LOCATION:

The symposium will take place at the Hotel Omni Mont-Royal located in beautiful
downtown Montreal close to the University of Montreal and McGill University
