*****************************
The International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology
and Intelligent Computing (IJCBS'09) will take place in Shanghai,
China on August 3rd - 6th, 2009. You are invited to submit papers with
unpublished original work describing recent advances on all aspects of
Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Intelligent Computing, including,
but not restricted to the following topics:
Bioinformatics: Bio-molecular and phylogenetic databases, bio-
languages, interoperability in bio-databases, bio-ontology and data
mining; identification and classification of genes; sequence search
and alignment; protein structure prediction and molecular simulation;
molecular evolution and phylogeny; functional genomics, proteomics;
drug discovery; gene expression analysis; bioinformatics engineering;
bio-data visualization; algorithms, modeling and simulation of bio-
sets; biomarkers of toxicity; bio-imaging; signaling and computation,
genetics and genomics.
Systems Biology: Modeling and simulation of biological processes,
pathways, networks, pipelines, mathematical and quantitative models of
cellular and multicellular systems, emergence of properties in complex
biological systems, methods to predict biological network behavior
from incomplete information, statistical modeling of biological data,
prediction and validation, synthetic biological systems, high
performance bio-computing, self-organization in living systems (cells,
organisms, swarms, ecosystems, etc.), platforms for computational
modeling of living systems (parallel, distributed, and multi-
resolution simulation methods), differential, discrete and/or
stochastic modeling-language frameworks, applications of systems
biology towards understanding disease mechanisms, pharmaceutical drug
discovery and drug target validation.
Intelligent Computing: Machine learning, data mining, pattern
recognition, agents, neural computing, kernel methods, evolutionary
computing, swarm intelligence and optimization; feature selection/
extraction; ensemble methods; manifold learning theory; artificial
life and artificial immune systems; technology to develop artificial
components, systematization methodology for intelligent systems, and
scientific principles related to artificial life.

Paper Submission and Publication
IJCBS09 invites authors to submit papers using the link http://www.isibm.org/IJCBS/submission.html
. By submitting your paper to IJCBS'09, you implicitly state that the
paper is based on your own original research and that it was not and
will not be submitted elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 7 pages with
standard IEEE CS formats. All submitted papers should be written in
English. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the work associated with the paper
submitted.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers of
registered authors will be included in the proceedings published by
IEEE Computer Society and indexed in EI. Selected papers will be
invited to adapt their papers for their publication in several
journals, including BMC Genomics, International Journal of Data Mining
& Bioinformatics, International Journal of Pattern Recognition and
Artificial Intelligence, Journal of Supercomputing, International
Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design, IJFIPM and other SCI
and PubMed indexed journals.
Other Information
Awards will be granted to the best paper of those presented at the
conference. The IJCBS'09 will award a number of travel fellowships for
students and authors of outstanding papers.
