[Computational-biology] The Second Call for Papers: IJCBS09

[IJCBS2009]

*****************************

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unpublished original work describing recent advances on all aspects of  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.
