Computational Biology is fast emerging as an important
discipline for academic research and industrial
application. The large size of biological data sets,
inherent complexity of biological problems and the ability
to deal with error-prone data all result in large run-time
and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to
provide a forum for discussion of latest research in
developing high-performance computing solutions to problems
arising from molecular biology. We are especially
interested in parallel algorithms, memory-efficient
algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, and design
of high-performance software. The workshop will feature
contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed
researchers in the field. Topics of interest include but
are not limited to:
* Bioinformatic databases
* Computational genomics
* Computational proteomics
* DNA assembly, clustering and mapping
* Gene expression and microarrays
* Gene identification and annotation
* Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
* Parallel architectures for biological applications
* Molecular evolution
* Molecular sequence analysis
* Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
* Protein structure prediction and modeling
* String data structures and algorithms
Submission Guidelines:
----------------------
Papers reporting original research (both theoretical and
experimental) in all areas of bioinformatics and
computational biology are sought. Surveys of important
recent results and directions are also welcome. To submit a
paper, upload a postscript or PDF copy of the paper from
the workshop web page (http://www.hicomb.org/). The paper
should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages (US Letter or A4
size) in 11pt font or larger. All papers will be reviewed.
IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop
abstracts as a printed volume. The complete symposium and
workshop proceedings will also be published by IEEE CS
Press on CD-ROM and will also be available in the IEEE
Digital Library.
