Call for Papers



2011 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
(BIBM11)



Atlanta, Georgia,  USA, Nov. 12-15, 2011



http://www.cs.gsu.edu/BIBM2011/



IEEE BIBM 2011 provides a general forum for disseminating the latest
research in bioinformatics and health informatics. It brings together
academic and industrial scientists from computer science, biology,
chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. Hong Kong is a vibrant
business city with many attractions and a distinctive culture.



* Journal special issues: IEEE BIBM has a tradition to publish selected
papers as special issues in highly respected SCI indexed journals. So far we
have confirmed the special issues publications with IEEE Transactions on
NanoBiosceiences, International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics,
BMC Bioinformatics, Proteomics. (In the past BIBM conference, the number of
special issues is: BIBM 2010—7 special issues, BIBM 2009—4 special issue;
BIBM 2008—4 special issues)



* Student Travel Award: BIBM 2011 will offer as many student travel awards
as possible  to student authors (BIBM 2010--22 student travel awards,  BIBM
2009—16 student travel awards )



We solicit high-quality original research papers (including significant
work-in-progress) in any aspect of bioinformatics and biomedicine. New
computational techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text
analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data
modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms;
linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization;
parallel computation; data integration; modeling and simulation and heir
