IEEE CIBCB 2019 - Call for Papers
IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology has become a major technical event in the field of
Computational Intelligence and its application to problems in biology,
bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering
and related fields. It provides a global forum for academic and industrial
scientists to discuss and present their latest research findings from
theory to applications.
CIBCB 2019 (https://cibcb2019.icas.xyz/) will be held in Certosa di
Pontignano (Siena), Tuscany (Italy) in July 9th-11th.
*Keynote speakers:*

- *Pierre Baldi* *University of California, Irvine, USA (TBC)*
- *Riccardo Bellazzi* *University of Pavia, Italy*
- *Thomas Keane* *EMBL-EBI, Cambridge, UK*


Submission Guidelines
------------------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit *papers* of 2 to 4 pages (*short
papers*) or of 5 to 8 pages (*complete papers*) including results, figures
and references, or *poster abstracts*. At maximum, two additional pages are
permitted with over-length page charge of US$100/page, to be paid during
author registration. Papers must be in PDF and written in English. Detailed
instructions and templates for preparing your manuscript can be found here:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
The deadline for paper submission is by *February 15, 2019*. Each paper
will be peer-reviewed. All papers must be original and not simultaneously
submitted to another journal or conference. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference proceedings and will be indexed in IEEE
Xplore®. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors
to register (https://cibcb2019.icas.xyz/registration/) and present the
paper at the conference. All papers should be submitted via the EasyChair
online submission system <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibcb2019>.
IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the
conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, if the paper is not
presented by the author at the conference.

*Important Dates*

- *Paper submission deadline: February 15, 2019*
- *Final (revised) paper submission deadline:* May 31, 2019
- *Abstract submission deadline:* May 31, 2019

Additional information
------------------------------
Participants will be accommodated in the Certosa di Pontignano, which is
also the venue of the Conference, where rooms and apartments are available.
Rooms will be assigned as availability permits: the most charming rooms
tend to be booked fast and it is recommended that prospective participants
enroll early to help ensure the best accommodation (
