CIBB 2016 - 13th International Meeting on Computational Intelligence methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics

The main goal of this 13th edition of the CIBB international
conference is to provide a multi-disciplinary forum open to
researchers interested in the application of computational
intelligence, in a broad sense, to open problems in bioinformatics,
biostatistics, systems and synthetic biology and medical informatics.
Cutting edge methodologies capable of accelerating life science
discoveries will be discussed. Following its tradition and roots, this
year's meeting will bring together researchers from the international
scientific community interested in advancements and future
perspectives in bioinformatics and biostatistics. Also, looking at
current trends and future opportunities at the edge of computer and
life sciences, the application of computational intelligence to system
and synthetic biology, and the consequent impact on innovative
medicine will be of great for the conference. Theoretical and
experimental biologists are also invited to participate in order to
present !
novel challenges and foster multidisciplinary collaboration.
The scientific program of CIBB 2016 will include Keynote Speakers,
tutorials and special sessions. Contributed papers will be presented
in plenary oral sessions, special sessions, or poster sessions.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
? Next generation sequencing bioalgorithms
? Multi-omics data analysis
? High dimensional statistical analysis of omics data
? Algorithms for alternative splicing analysis
? Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis
? Methods for the visualization of high dimensional complex omic data
? Software tools for bioinformatics
? Methods for comparative genomics
? Methods for functional classification of genes
? Methods for unsupervised analysis, validation and visualization
of structures discovered in bio-molecular data
? Health-Informatics and Medical Informatics.
? Methods for the integration of clinical and genetic data
? Heterogeneous data integration and data fusion for diagnostics
? Algorithms for pharmacogenomics
? Biomedical text mining and imaging
? Methods for diagnosis and prognosis within personalized medicine
? Statistical methods for the analysis of clinical data
? Prediction of secondary and tertiary protein structures
? Mass spectrometry data analysis in proteomics
? Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis
? Bio-molecular databases and data mining
? Mathematical modeling and automated reasoning on biological and
synthetic systems
? Computational simulation of biological systems
? Methods and advances in systems biology
? Spatio-temporal analysis of synthetic and biological systems
? Network systems biology
? Models for cell populations and tissues
? Methods for the engineering of synthetic components
? Modelling and engineering of interacting synthetic and biological systems
? Software tools for bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and
synthetic biology
Publication
Accepted papers will be presented at the conference (at least one
author is expected to register), and will be published on proceedings
for conference distribution. Extended and revised versions of the
papers presented at CIBB 2016 will be invited for a post-conference
monograph. This is traditionally published in the Springer series of
Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI), (arrangements undergoing).
Continuing the tradition of CIBB, we are planning to publish best
papers in one (or more, as appropriate) special issue of an
international scientific journal (such as BMC Bioinformatics, in the
latest editions).
Paper Submission
Papers must be prepared following the guidelines illustrated on the
CIBB web site and should be long between 4 and 6 pages.
Papers should be submitted in PDF format on the Easy Chair conference
system (link available on the web site).
