CALL FOR PAPERS
3^rd IEEE International Conference on Computational
Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS)
June 12-14, New Orleans, LA, USA
Advances in high-throughput technologies such as DNA sequencing and
mass sp= ectrometry are profoundly transforming life sciences,
resulting in the coll= ection of unprecedented amounts of biological
and medical data. Using this= data to advance our knowledge about
fundamental biological processes and i= mprove human health requires
novel computational models and advanced analys= is algorithms. IEEE
ICCABS aims to bring together leading academic and ind= ustry
researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational methods f or bio and medical sciences.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Biological modeling and simulation (Molecular and cellular mode ling, stochastic and rule-based modeling, modeling languages and
systems);
* Biomedical image processing (Image segmentation and class ification, visualization, functional and molecular imaging);
* Biomedical data and literature mining (Data integration, knowledge discovery from electronic medical records and scientific
literatu= re);
* Computational genetic epidemiology (Linkage and associati= on
analysis, gene-gene and gene-environment interaction modeling,
genetic r= isk analysis);
* Computational metabolomics (Metabolomics databases, metab= olite
identification, spectral analysis, metabolic network modeling);
* Computational proteomics (Peptide identification and quan tification, post-translational modifications, protein-protein
interactions = );
* Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, dat= abase
integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
* Gene regulation (Regulatory motifs and modules, post-tran scriptional regulation, regulatory networks);
* Genome analysis (Genome assembly, genome annotation, comp= arative
genomics, metagenomics);
* Health Informatics (Medical data management and privacy, = medical
recommender systems, therapy optimization);
* High-performance bio-computing (Cloud and grid computing, advanced multi-core, GPU, and FPGA biomedical applications);
* Immunoinformatics (Epitope prediction, vaccine design, im= mune
system simulators);
* Molecular evolution (Models of evolution, reconstruction = of
phylogenetic trees and networks, comparative genomics);
* Population genomics (Haplotype and recombination analysis= ,
structural genomic variation, signatures of natural selection);
* Sequence analysis (Multiple sequence alignment, motif dis= covery,
sequence search and clustering);
* Structural bioinformatics (RNA and protein structure pred= iction
and classification, molecular docking, RNA and protein design);
* Systems biology (Systems approaches to molecular biology, multi-scale modeling, biological networks, synthetic biology);
* Transcriptomics (Microarray and sequencing-based transcri= ptome
profiling, novel transcript discovery, alternative splicing,
non-codi= ng RNA analysis).
