********************************************************************************************* 3rd International Symposium of Information Visualization in Biomedical Informatics (IVBI) ****************** http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV09/IVbm.htm ****************************** July 15, 2009 * BARCELONA * SPAIN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: February 25, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers and Participation Proceeding will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, with ISBN number, and to be indexed by IEEE Xplore and other major bibliographical search engines. Organized as part of the 2009 International Information Visualisation Conference, the International Symposium of Information Visualization in Biomedical Informatics (IVBi) is a forum for the presentation of original papers in information visualization theory and applications to biomedical biomedical and biomolecular data and processes. The symposium covers all aspects of visualization and issues affecting interaction with large and complex data sets. We encourage the submission of papers covering new techniques, old techniques applied in novel ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth surveys. Example topics include, but are not limited to: Array data (mRNA, exon, CGH, etc.) design and analysis Biomolecular data and networks, phylogeny Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment and search Protein structure, function, sequence analysis Signaling pathways, biochemical networks Genetic sequence analysis, comparison and alignment networks Gene regulation, expression, identification and network DNA, RNA structure, function, sequence analysis Biochemical and cellular simulations and models High-performance computing and parallel rendering Structural, functional and comparative genomics Biomarkers Neuroscience and physiology Drug design Computer aided diagnosis Examples of visualization topics include, but are not limited to: Interaction with data sets, human factors Data exploration using classical and novel approaches Visualization and databases Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations Volume and flow visualization Annotation and labeling Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data Comparative Methods / User studies / Surveys Identification of correlated and anomalous relationships in disparate data sets ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: 25 February 2009 - Submission of papers through online submission system 25 April 2009 - Submission of camera-ready (accepted submissions) 15 July 2009 - Symposium ============================================ Symposium URL: http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV09/IVbm.htm IV 2009 URL: http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV09/ Symposium chairs: Urska Cvek, Sc.D.
