Topics/Call fo Papers

The fifth edition of the BIO-HPC workshop (http://bio-hpc.eu/BIOHPC2017) is going to take place in conjunction with the 46th International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP, http://www.icpp-conf.org/2017/index.php), August 14, 2017, Bristol, UK. BIO-HPC was previously co-located with IWBBIO (2013-2016). Due to BIO-HPC strong focus on HPC architectures and parallel processing we decided to move to ICPP 2017.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop on Novel High Performance Computing algorithms and platforms in Bioinformatics gears to gather recent work on both algorithm design and hardware platforms to deal with the emergent challenges of the next century in the field of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry. We are looking for disruptive proposals presented from a holistic perspective that really make a step forward in these fields. In this regard, one of the main aims of the workshop is discussing about the main trends in parallel processing, algorithm definition and problem-domain requirements altogether, which may anticipate future solutions to be translated into real benefits to the society. With that in mind, we are thinking on creating the right atmosphere for a discussion of research opportunities in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry from a multidisciplinary point of view within the computer science area.
Additionally, proposals may rather be reflective of a broader industry trend. High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are becoming crucial to the progress of science and technology. With particular focus on (but not limited to) the chemical and pharma industry, we want to provide a forum to discuss how to translate these results into commercial uptake of new HPC technologies.
The goal of BIO-HPC’17 is therefore to bring together researchers from different fields of Parallel Processing, Computer Architecture, Soft Computing and Bioinformatics to provide a forum for discussing future research directions and challenges to translate academic results into real benefits for the society. In conclusion, we look for original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on multidisciplinary research that combines both Parallelism and Algorithm as applied to any possible of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry problem.
