International Symposium on Biomedical Data infrastructure (BDI 2013)

30 - 31 January 2013

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

http://umconference.um.edu.my/BDI2013

Due to the emerging demands of huge amounts of biomedical data, new and improved data management capabilities are required for supporting a wide range of applications. Current Biomedical Databases are independently administered in geographically distinct locations, lending them almost ideally to adoption of intelligent data management approaches. As a result next generation of information infrastructure and data integration capabilities are needed to ensure increasing infrastructure agility required for high-throughput biomedical research. The workshop will focus on research issues, problems and opportunities in Biomedical Data Infrastructure.

Topics of Interest are:

* Big Biomedical Data and its Management
* Biomedical Data integration and Interoperability
* Next Generation Sequencing Data
* Biomedical Image Analysis
* Medical Informatics and Translational Bioinformatics
* Biomedical Ontologies
* Semantic Web Tools and Techniques for Biomedicine
* Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 Applications in Biomedicine
* Novel architectural models for HPC and cloud computing in Biomedicine
* New parallel / concurrent programming models for High Performance Biomedical Applications in Cloud
* Biomedical Data Cloud
* Interoperability between different Utility Computing Platforms used for Biomedicine
* Performance monitoring for biomedical applications in HPC and Cloud
* Biomedical Infrastructure as a Service
* Biomedical Platforms as a Service
* Biomedical Software as a Service
* Scientific workflows in bioinformatics and biomedicine
* Data Mining in Biomedicine
* Computational Systems Biology

Submission Guidelines:

We welcome original submissions that have not been published and that are not under review by another conference or journal. Papers should not exceed 15 pages excluding references in Springer format.
