CIBCB 2021 has introduced a new short papers and posters track. We invite prospective authors to present preliminary findings from work in progress, or industry perspectives on issues relevant to CIBCB 2021. Short papers are limited to 2 pages in length (including results, figures, and references), and will be desk reviewed by the organisational committee. Accepted short papers and posters will be included in a separate non-IEEE website, but not in conference proceedings. As such, we welcome presentation of work intended for later publication in other avenues.

Submission details, templates, and poster requirements are available at http://www.federation.edu.au/cibcb2021

This conference will bring together top researchers, practitioners, academics and students from around the globe to discuss the latest advances in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to real world problems in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering, and related fields. Computational Intelligence approaches include artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, hybrid algorithms, and other emerging techniques. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

•Gene expression array analysis
•Neuromorphic integration of bio- and neuroinformatics
•Structure prediction and folding
•Molecular sequence alignment and analysis
•Metabolic pathway analysis
•RNA and protein folding and structure prediction
•Analysis and visualization of large biological data sets
•Motif detection
•Molecular evolution and phylogenetics
•Systems and synthetic biology
•Health: physical and mental
•Modeling, simulation, and optimization of biological systems
•Robustness and evolvability of biological networks
•Emergent properties in complex biological systems
•Ecoinformatics and applications to ecological data analysis
•Medical imaging and pattern recognition
•Medical image analysis
•Biomedical data modeling and mining
•Treatment optimization
•Biomedical model parameterization
•Brain computer interface

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 indexed in IEEE Xplorer. Selected papers, after a substantial extension, will be considered for publication in special issue of Elsevier’s Biosystems journal.

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in IEEE format, including results, figures, and references. For full papers, accepted papers longer than eight pages will have an additional per page charge. Submission details can be found at: http://www.federation.edu.au/cibcb2021

Depending on the prevailing situation, the conference will be either face to face, virtual or a combination of both. For additional information, contact the Conference Secretariat at Federation University, Australia via Email: cibcb2021@federation.edu.au
