IIBM 2012 - 5th International Workshop on Intelligent Informatics in Biology and Medicine (IIBM-2012)

Advances of information technologies have facilitated and accelerated the research on molecular biology and medicine in the past few decades. Great success has been achieved. However, to move further more sophisticated technologies are needed. The applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining in this area can help the researcher to discover new knowledge. This is a very important direction. Also, to improve the quality of healthcare and medicine, different sensing and information processing technologies are applied. This workshop wishes to attract state-of-the-art solutions and novel attempts in these fields. Previous IIBM’s were held in Barcelona, Spain (2008), Fukuoka, Japan (2009), Krakow, Poland (2010), and Seoul, Korea (2011). Topics of interest include but not limited to the following:
Gene expression analysis
Gene identification and annotation
Protein/RNA structure prediction
RNAi and microRNA analysis
Sequence and structural motifs
Microarray analysis
Modeling of biochemical pathways
Drug design
Genomics and proteomics
Systems biology
Medical signal/image processing
Computer assisted surgery
Medical/ healthcare informatics
Biomedical text mining and information extraction
