FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
8th IEEE International Conference on Computational
Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS)
October 18-20, 2018, UNLV, Las Vegas, 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 th= is data to advance our knowledge about
fundamental biological processes and= improve human health requires
novel computational models and advanced anal= ysis algorithms. IEEE
ICCABS aims to bring together leading academic and in= dustry
researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational methods for bio and medical sciences.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Biological Big Data Analytics
* 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
quantification, post-transl= ational modifications,
protein-protein interactions );
* Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, = database
integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
* Data Integration (Records linkage and the integration = of
biological data);
* 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);
* Microbial Data Analysis (The role of microbiomes in determining
phenoty= pes);
* 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).
