IEEE International Conference
on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM09)
Washington DC, USA, Nov. 1-4, 2009

http://www.ittc.ku.edu/bioinformatics/BIBM09

IEEE BIBM 2009 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and health informatics . It is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together academic and industrial scientists from computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. It will exchange research results and address open issues in a broad spectrum of bioinformatics and health informatics, with the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, simulation, ontology and other computational methods, as applied to life science problems. IEEE BIBM 2009 intends to attract a balanced combination of bioinformaticians, computer scientists, biologists, biomedical engineers, chemists, and statisticians.

We are soliciting high quality original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) in any aspect of bioinformatics and biomedicine. New computational techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modeling and simulation and heir application in life science domain are especially encouraged. Relevant topics included but not limited to:

* Biological Data Mining and Visualization
* Computational Modeling & Data Integration
* Sequence Analysis, Evolution and Phylogeny
* Protein Structure, function, and interactions
* Massively Parallel Sequencing Data Analyses
* Comparative Genomics
* Microarray Data Analysis
* Gene Regulation and Transcriptomics
* Computational Systems Biology
* Biomedical Text Mining and Ontologies
* BioMedical Signal/Image Analysis
* Translational Genomics in Engineering
* Bioinformatics of Diseases
* Biomedical Intelligence & Clinical Data Analysis
* New Emerging Areas
