Call For Papers HiCOMB 2006
April 25, 2006 Rhodes Island, Greece 5th IEEE International Workshop on High Performance Computational Biology held in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Computational Biology is fast emerging as an important discipline for academic research and industrial application. The large size of biological data sets, inherent complexity of biological problems and the ability to deal with error-prone data all result in large run-time and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in developing high-performance computing solutions to problems arising from molecular biology. We are especially interested in parallel algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, and design of high-performance software. The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Bioinformatic databases
* Computational genomics
* Computational proteomics
* DNA assembly, clustering and mapping
* Gene expression and microarrays
* Gene identification and annotation
* Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
* Parallel architectures for biological applications
* Molecular evolution
* Molecular sequence analysis
* Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
* Protein structure prediction and modeling
* String data structures and algorithms
Submission Guidelines:
----------------------
Papers reporting original research (both theoretical and experimental)
in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology are sought.
Surveys of important recent results and directions are also welcome.
To submit a paper, upload a postscript or PDF copy of the paper from
the workshop web page (http://www.hicomb.org/). The paper should not
exceed 12 single-spaced pages (US Letter or A4 size) in 11pt font or
larger. All papers will be reviewed. IEEE CS Press will publish the
IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. The
complete symposium and workshop proceedings will also be published by
IEEE CS Press on CD-ROM and will also be available in the IEEE Digital
Library.
