Call for Workshop Proposals
2007 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
(IEEE BIBM 2007, co-located with IEEE/WCI/ACM WI-IAT 07 and IEEE GrC 07)
http://www.cis.drexel.edu/faculty/thu/bibm/index.php.htm
San Jose, CA, USA Nov 2-4, 2007
=================================================================
Workshop Proposals Due: May 20, 2007
All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which are
indexed by EI.
===================================================================
The Program Committees of 2007 IEEE International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2007) invite proposals for
Workshops. The Workshops will be held within the Conference, November
2-5, 2007 at Silicon Valley, USA.
The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop,
forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and
guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the
Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the
Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will
be available at the workshops.
The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected
papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal
issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should
select 20-25 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select
10-13 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. The workshop
organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at
the workshops.
I. Workshop Topics
Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and
initiatives in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine. The workshops should
provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research results and practical development
experiences in these two fields. Suggested, but not limited to, workshop
topics include: data mining and machine learning algorithms for biomedical
applications, natural language processing techniques for bioinformatics
and biomedicine, graph techniques for biomedical networks, motif detection
techniques, in-silico diagnosis and prognosis, and etc.
II. Workshop Proposal Submission
Workshop proposals should include the following elements:
Title of the workshop
Your name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address
A description of the topic of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words)
Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day)
A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of
Bioinformatics or/and Biomedicine Technology
A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure
a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers.
After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s)
should:
Create a "Call for papers/participation" for the workshop
Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on
the Conference Web site
Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee)
Review and select papers
Schedule the workshop activities
All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality,
relevance, significance, and clarity. We will provide an online paper
submission and review system to support the workshops.
III. Important Dates
May 20, 2007: Workshop proposal submission due
(Please send proposals by e-mail to any of the Workshop Chairs)
June 1, 2007: Notification to workshop proposers
June 10, 2007: Each workshop organizer sends out Call for Workshops Papers

Note: we will not have a separate workshop registration fee this
year (i.e., only one conference registration covers everything).
For your information, the BIBM'07 conference will be co-located
with the 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM WI-IAT and the IEEE International Conference on
Granular Computing (GrC'07) for providing synergism among the four
research areas. It will provide opportunities for technical collaboration
beyond that of previous conferences. The four conferences will have the
joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to
register one conference and can attend sessions across the four
conferences. We are planning to have a joint panel and joint paper
sessions that discuss common research problems in the four areas.
Best regards!
Yours
