Call for Workshop Proposals
2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm12/
October 4-7, 2012, Philadelphia, USA
=================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2012 IEEE International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2012) invite proposals for
Workshops. Selected workshops will hold a central position within the
larger Conference, which will bring together top academic and
industrial researchers from all over the world to exchange cutting
edge research ideas in bioinformatics and biomedicine. Within these
fields, workshops at BIBM form crucial focal points for emerging
communities and forums for the examination of new ideas.
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 breadth of
the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in
the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press,
made available at the Conference.
The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing
selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or
special journal issues. Workshops should cover at least a single
session (6 regular papers). The workshop organizers should ensure
registration and presence of authors of accepted papers.
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. Workshop topics may be
narrow, e.g., „reverse-engineering‰ of gene regulatory networks from
experimental data, computational approaches to drug discovery,
mathematical modeling of signaling pathways, analysis of the next-
generation sequencing data, oscillations and synchronization of
biological rhythms; or broad, e.g., computational proteomics, in-
silico diagnosis and prognosis, data mining and machine learning
algorithms for biomedical applications, application of network
research to biology etc. Prospective workshop organizers are
encouraged to contact workshop chairs for feedback.
