   Advances in Bio and Medical S= ciences (ICCABS)

   October 13-15, Georgia Instit= ute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA

   Advances in high-through= put technologies such as DNA sequencing and
   mass spectrometry are profoundl= y transforming life sciences,
   resulting in the collection of unprecedented = amounts of biological
   and medical data. Using this data to advance our know= ledge about
   fundamental biological processes and improve human health requi= res
   novel computational models and advanced analysis algorithms. IEEE
   ICCAB= S aims to bring together leading academic and industry
   researchers to discu= ss the latest advances in computational methods
   for bio and medical science= s. 

   Topics of interest inclu= de but are not limited to:
     * Biological Big Data Analytics
     * Biological modeling and simulation (Molecular and cellu= lar
       modeling, stochastic and rule-based modeling, modeling languages
       and sy= stems);
     * Biomedical image processing (Image segmentation and cla       ssification, visualization, functional and molecular imaging);
     * Biomedical data and literature mining (Data integration= ,
       knowledge discovery from electronic medical records and scientific
       litera= ture);

     * Computational genetic epidemiology (Linkage and associa= tion
       analysis, gene-gene and gene-environment interaction modeling,
       genetic= risk analysis);

     * Computational metabolomics (Metabolomics databases, met= abolite
       identification, spectral analysis, metabolic network modeling);
            * Computational proteomics (Peptide identification and qu       antification, post-translational modifications, protein-protein
       interaction= s );

     * Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, d= atabase
       integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
     * Gene regulation (Regulatory motifs and modules, post-tr       anscriptional regulation, regulatory networks);

     * Genome analysis (Genome assembly, genome annotation, co= mparative
       genomics, metagenomics);

     * Health Informatics (Medical data management and privacy= , medical
       recommender systems, therapy optimization);
     * High-performance bio-computing (Cloud and grid computin= g,
       advanced multi-core, GPU, and FPGA biomedical applications);
     * Immunoinformatics (Epitope prediction, vaccine design, = immune
       system simulators);
     * Molecular evolution (Models of evolution, reconstructio= n of
       phylogenetic trees and networks, comparative genomics);

     * Population genomics (Haplotype and recombination analys= is,
       structural genomic variation, signatures of natural selection);
     * Sequence analysis (Multiple sequence alignment, motif d= iscovery,
       sequence search and clustering);
     * Structural bioinformatics (RNA and protein structure pr= ediction
       and classification, molecular docking, RNA and protein design);
     * Systems biology (Systems approaches to molecular biolog= y,
       multi-scale modeling, biological networks, synthetic biology);

     * Transcriptomics (Microarray and sequencing-based transc= riptome
       profiling, novel transcript discovery, alternative splicing,
       non-co= ding RNA analysis).
