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 sequencing and
mass spectrometry are profoundly transforming life sciences,
resulting in the c ollection of unprecedented amounts of biological
and medical data. Using th is data to advance our knowledge about
fundamental biological processes and improve human health requires
novel computational models and advanced anal ysis algorithms. IEEE
ICCABS aims to bring together leading academic and in dustry
researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational 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 cellu lar
modeling, stochastic and rule-based modeling, modeling languages
and sy stems);
* Biomedical image processing (Image segmentation and cla ssification, visualization, functional and molecular imaging);
* Biomedical data and literature mining (Data integration ,
knowledge discovery from electronic medical records and scientific
litera ture);

* Computational genetic epidemiology (Linkage and associa tion
analysis, gene-gene and gene-environment interaction modeling,
genetic risk analysis);

* Computational metabolomics (Metabolomics databases, met abolite
identification, spectral analysis, metabolic network modeling);
* Computational proteomics (< span lang="fr-FR">Peptide
identification and quantification, post-transla tional
modifications, protein-protein interactions );

* Databases and ontologies (Biomedical data warehouses, d atabase
integration, biomedical ontologies and semantic web services);
* Gene regulation (Regulatory motifs and modules, post-tr anscriptional regulation, regulatory networks);

* Genome analysis (Genome assembly, genome annotation, co mparative
genomics, metagenomics);

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

* Population genomics (Haplotype and recombination analys is,
structural genomic variation, signatures of natural selection);
* Sequence analysis (Multiple sequence alignment, motif d iscovery,
sequence search and clustering);
* Structural bioinformatics (RNA and protein structure pr ediction
and classification, molecular docking, RNA and protein design);
* Systems biology (Systems approaches to molecular biolog y,
multi-scale modeling, biological networks, synthetic biology);

* Transcriptomics (Microarray and sequencing-based transc riptome
profiling, novel transcript discovery, alternative splicing,
non-co ding RNA analysis).
