Call for Papers and Participation

Proceedings will be published by IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY

We are soliciting original papers in the area of information visualization
applied to biomedical and biomolecular data, including genomic and proteomic
data. One of the great challenges is the presentation of and interaction
with large and complex data sets. The need for integrated methods and
creative strategies has provided an opportunity for novel solutions. We
encourage the submission of new techniques, old techniques applied in novel
ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth surveys.

Examples of application topics include, but are not limited to

Microarray data, design and analysis
Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment
Sequence analysis, comparison and alignment networks
Evolutionary phylogenetic trees
Gene expression and gene discovery
Signaling pathways, biochemical networks
Biochemical and cellular simulations and models
Mass spectrometry data analysis
Heterogeneous medical data sources
Neuroscience and physiology
Patient records
etc.

Examples of visualization topics include

Interactions with large data sets
Annotation and labeling
Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations
Systems-level analysis of experimental data
Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data
Comparative Methods / User studies / Surveys
Identification of correlated and anomalous relationships in disparate data
sets
