CIBCB 2011 - CIBCB 2011 The eighth annual IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

CIBCB 2011
The eighth annual IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
The CIBCB 2011 symposium will bring together top researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to real-world problems in theoretical and applied biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. Computational Intelligence (CI) approaches include artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, hybrid approaches and other emerging techniques including but not limited to ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and support vector machines.
The use of computational intelligence must play a substantial role in submitted papers. Submissions will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be index in IEEE eXplore.
In case of doubt about the applicability of your approach enquire of the symposium chair Clare Bates Congdon (congdon-AT-usm.maine.edu) or the technical chair Daniel Ashlock (dashlock-AT-uoguelph.ca).
