Call for Paper 2007 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2007) (co-located with IEEE/WCI/ACM WI-IAT 07 and IEEE GrC 07) http://www.cis.drexel.edu/faculty/thu/bibm/index.php.htm San Jose, CA, USA Nov 2-4, 2007 IEEE BIBM 2007 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and biomedicine. It is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together academic and industrial scientists from computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. It will exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of bioinformatics and biomedicine and provide a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, simulation, ontology and other computational methods, as applied to life science problems, with emphasis on applications in high throughput data-rich areas in biology, biomedical engineering. IEEE BIBM 2007 intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists, biologists, biomedical engineers, chemist, data analyzer, statistician. Topics of interests We are soliciting high quality original research papers (including significant works-in-progress) in any aspect of bioinformatics and biomedicine. New computational techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modeling and simulation and heir application in life science domain are especially encouraged.
