PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS (ISBRA '07 Flyer in PDF)

International Symposium on

Bioinformatics Research and Applications

May 7-10, 2007, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia

http://www.cs.gsu.edu/ISBRA/

 

The International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and results among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications. ISBRA is the successor of the International Workshop on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (IWBRA), held on May 22-25, 2005 in Atlanta, GA and on May 28-31, 2006 in Reading, UK in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science . The two editions of IWBRA have enjoyed a great success, with special issues of Springer LNCS Transactions on Computational Systems Biology and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics being devoted to full versions of selected papers. The proceedings of ISBRA 2007 will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series, and it is anticipated that a special issue of a major bioinformatics journal will be devoted to expanded versions of the best symposium papers.

 

Authors are invited to submit papers that demonstrate original unpublished research in all areas of bioinformatics, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Surveys of important recent results and directions are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

  • Biomedical image processing
  • Bio-ontology and data mining
  • Computational genetics
  • Comparative genomics
  • Databases and data integration
  • Gene expression and microarrays
  • Gene identification and annotation
  • Immunoinformatics
  • Molecular evolution and phylogeny
  • Molecular modeling and simulation
  • Parallel bioinformatics algorithms
  • Pathways and systems biology
  • Protein structure prediction
  • Sequence analysis

Paper submission must be made electronically by following the instructions at http://www.easychair.org/ISBRA07. Submissions must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages in length. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the symposium.
