BCB 2013 - ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (ACM BCB)

The ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBCB. This is the conference’s fourth year, building upon the success of the first three meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, and Orlando.
ACM BCB 2013 will be held in Washington D.C. from September 22-25, 2013. The conference offers a forum for premier interdisciplinary research linking computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedical informatics. The past two decades have led to a tremendous growth in the size and dimensionality of biological and biomedical data. This conference serves to showcase leading-edge research in processing, modeling and analyzing these datasets for a variety of applications.
ACM BCB 2013 welcomes original submissions that have not been published and that are not under review by another conference or journal. Examples of relevant topics include but are not limited to:
Genomics and Evolution
Protein and RNA Structure, Protein Function, and Proteomics
Computational Systems Biology
Next Generation Sequencing Data
Medical Informatics and Translational Bioinformatics
Cross-Cutting Computational Methods
Bioinformatics Infrastructure
Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology
Computational Epidemiology
Biomedical Image Analysis
Knowledge Representation and Inference
Integration of Biomedical Data
Databases, Knowledgebases & Ontologies
Text Mining and Natural Language Processing
Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see ACM templates). All the manuscripts should be submitted at http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/ACM-BCB2013/submission..... All submissions will be evaluated on their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the work associated with the paper submitted. All submitted papers will be reviewed by ACM-BCB’s technical program committee. All accepted papers of registered authors will be included in the proceedings published by ACM digital libraries. The authors of selected papers will be invited to adapt their papers for being published in a special issue of IEEE Transaction on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB). All accepted papers will be required to submit an online ACM Copyright Form. Details for electronic submission will be found on the conference web portal at http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/ACM-BCB2013/.
