   CALL FOR PAPERS

   4th IEEE International Conference on Compu= tational
   Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS)
   June 2-4,= Miami, FL, USA

   Advances in high-throughput technologies such as DNA sequencing and
   mass= spectrometry are profoundly transforming life sciences,
   resulting in the c= ollection of unprecedented amounts of biological
   and medical data. Using t= his data to advance our knowledge about
   fundamental biological processes an= d improve human health requires
   novel computational models and advanced ana= lysis algorithms. IEEE
   ICCABS aims to bring together leading academic and = industry
   researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational method= s
   for bio and medical sciences.

   Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
     * Biological modeling and simulation (Molecular and cell= ular
       modeling, stochastic and rule-based modeling, modeling languages
       and s= ystems);
     * Biomedical image processing (Image segmentation and cl       assification, visualization, functional and molecular imaging);
     * Biomedical data and literature mining (Data integratio= n,
       knowledge discovery from electronic medical records and scientific
       liter= ature);
     * Computational genetic epidemiology (Linkage and associ= ation
       analysis, gene-gene and gene-environment interaction modeling,
       geneti= c risk analysis);
     * Computational metabolomics (Metabolomics databases, me= tabolite
       identification, spectral analysis, metabolic network modeling);
     * Computational proteomics (Peptide identification and q       uantification, post-translational modifications, protein-protein
       interactio= ns );
     * Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, = database
       integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
     * Gene regulation (Regulatory motifs and modules, post-t       ranscriptional regulation, regulatory networks);
     * Genome analysis (Genome assembly, genome annotation, c= omparative
       genomics, metagenomics);
     * Health Informatics (Medical data management and privac= y, medical
       recommender systems, therapy optimization);
     * High-performance bio-computing (Cloud and grid computi= ng,
       advanced multi-core, GPU, and FPGA biomedical applications);
     * Immunoinformatics (Epitope prediction, vaccine design,= immune
       system simulators);
     * Molecular evolution (Models of evolution, reconstructi= on of
       phylogenetic trees and networks, comparative genomics);
     * Population genomics (Haplotype and recombination analy= sis,
       structural genomic variation, signatures of natural selection);
     * Sequence analysis (Multiple sequence alignment, motif = discovery,
       sequence search and clustering);
     * Structural bioinformatics (RNA and protein structure p= rediction
       and classification, molecular docking, RNA and protein design);
     * Systems biology (Systems approaches to molecular biolo= gy,
       multi-scale modeling, biological networks, synthetic biology);
     * Transcriptomics (Microarray and sequencing-based trans= criptome
       profiling, novel transcript discovery, alternative splicing,
       non-c= oding RNA analysis).
