CALL FOR PAPERS

7th IEEE International Conference on Computational

Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS)

October 19-21, Orlando, FL, USA

Advances in high-throughput technologies such as DNA s equencing and
mass spectrometry are profoundly transforming life sciences, resulting in the collection of unprecedented amounts of biological and
medi cal data. Using this data to advance our knowledge about
fundamental biolog ical processes and improve human health requires
novel computational models and advanced analysis algorithms. IEEE
ICCABS aims to bring together leadi ng academic and industry
researchers to discuss the latest advances in comp utational methods
for bio and medical sciences.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Biological Big Data Analytics
* Biological modeling and simulation (Molecular and cell ular
modeling, stochastic and rule-based modeling, modeling languages
and s ystems);
* Biomedical image processing (Image segmentation and cl assification, visualization, functional and molecular imaging);
* Biomedical data and literature mining (Data integratio n,
knowledge discovery from electronic medical records and scientific
liter ature);

* Computational genetic epidemiology (Linkage and associ ation
analysis, gene-gene and gene-environment interaction modeling,
geneti c risk analysis);

* Computational metabolomics (Metabolomics databases, me tabolite
identification, spectral analysis, metabolic network modeling);
* Computational proteomics ( Peptide identification and
quantification, post-transl ational modifications,
protein-protein interactions );

* Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, database
integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
* Gene regulation (Regulatory motifs and modules, post-t ranscriptional regulation, regulatory networks);

* Genome analysis (Genome assembly, genome annotation, c omparative
genomics, metagenomics);

* Health Informatics (Medical data management and privac y, medical
recommender systems, therapy optimization);
* High-performance bio-computing (Cloud and grid computi ng,
advanced multi-core, GPU, and FPGA biomedical applications);
* Immunoinformatics (Epitope prediction, vaccine design, immune
system simulators);
* Molecular evolution (Models of evolution, reconstructi on of
phylogenetic trees and networks, comparative genomics);

* Population genomics (Haplotype and recombination analy sis,
structural genomic variation, signatures of natural selection);
* Sequence analysis (Multiple sequence alignment, motif discovery,
sequence search and clustering);
* Structural bioinformatics (RNA and protein structure p rediction
and classification, molecular docking, RNA and protein design);
* Systems biology (Systems approaches to molecular biolo gy,
multi-scale modeling, biological networks, synthetic biology);

* Transcriptomics (Microarray and sequencing-based trans criptome
profiling, novel transcript discovery, alternative splicing,
non-c oding RNA analysis).
