evobio 2011 - 9th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics

EvoBIO 2011


The 9th annual European Conference on Evolutionary
Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics.

Torino, Italy, 27-29 April 2011

EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 13 December 2010

The European Conference on Evolutionary Computation,
Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics is a
multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers working in
Bioinformatics that apply advanced techniques coming from Evolutionary
Computation, Machine Learning, and Data Mining to address important
problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics.

The primary focus of the conference is to present the latest advances of
these approaches for Bioinformatics and to provide a forum for the
discussion of new research directions.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* biomarker discovery
* cell simulation and modelling
* ecological modelling
* fluxomics
* gene networks
* high-throughput biotechnology
* metabolomics
* microarray analysis
* phylogeny
* protein interaction
* proteomics
* sequence analysis and alignment
* biological networks analysis
* systems biology

EvoBIO 2011 will be the 9th annual European Conference on Evolutionary
Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics. The
conference will be held in conjunction with the EuroGP (13th European
Conference on Genetic Programming), EvoCOP 2010 (10th European
Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation)
and EvoApplication 2010, the specialist conference on a range of
evolutionary computation topics and applications.

Publication Details

Each accepted paper will be presented orally or as a poster at the conference and
will be printed in the proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.

The accepted papers of the previous editions of evobio were published in the
Springer Verlag LNCS. The first 4 editions (2003?2006) were published in the LNCS
2611, 3005, 3449, 3907, together with the remaining evoWorkshops.
Since 2007 evobio became a evo* conference and its proceedings were published in
Springer Verlag LNCS 4447, 4973, 5483, 6023, respectively.

The authors of papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated for the
Best paper Award. Papers nominated for the best paper award will also be
invited to expand their publication for a special issue of BioData Mining.

Submission Details

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will
be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.
The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis
of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version
of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register
for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the
authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format.

evobio is interested in papers in three major areas:

1. Full research articles (maximum 12 pages) describing new methodologies,
approaches, and/or applications (oral or poster presentation).

2. System Demonstrations (maximum 6 pages) outlining the nature of the system
and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest for the conference.
Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in
research or practice domains. Selected demo submissions may be asked to give an
oral presentation in the conference sessions.

3. Short reports (maximum 6 pages) describing new methodologies, approaches, and/or
applications (poster presentation)
