APBJC 2024

[Wing-Kin Sung]

Dear all,

The 1^st Asia & Pacific Bioinformatics Joint Conference (APBJC 2024), which will be held in Okinawa, Japan from Oct. 22-25, 2024. Prof. Limsoon Wong and Prof. Kenta Nakai are the co-chairs of APBJC2024!

Below please find the information.

The APBJC 2024 is a collaborative endeavor organized by the Japanese

Society for Bioinformatics (JSBi), Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network

(APBioNET), International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB),

the International Conference on Genome Informatics (GIW), and the

Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC), in place of their

respective annual conferences in 2024 (APBC, InCoB, and GIW 2024).

APBJC also benefits from the active involvement and support of

numerous regional bioinformatics societies, reflecting a collective

commitment to fostering progress and innovation in the field. It aims

to showcase research at the forefront of bioinformatics and

computational biology, reflecting a collective commitment to fostering

progress and innovation in the field.

We encourage submissions of original work for consideration for oral
and/or poster presentation, whether it is in progress or has been
previously published within the last 18 months. The submission
deadline is July 7, and acceptance notifications will be sent by July
28. More details can be found in the Call for Submissions
(https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.apbjc.asia%2fcall%2dfor%2dsubmission.html&umid=904258e5-6320-4114-9877-e770d0a3ae48&auth=8d3ccd473d52f326e51c0f75cb32c9541898e5d5-0b8302bca1d352cedaf7aa04d430a2e4817a91c2 ).

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We eagerly
anticipate your positive response on joining the PC. Your
participation will be invaluable in shaping the success of APBJC 2024.

Thanks!

-------------------------------

Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI) 2024, September 2-4, London, UK.

The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI), established in 2001, is one of the major annual conferences on algorithms in bioinformatics.

Scope
WABI is an international conference covering research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that provide evidence of their potential usefulness in practice, preferably by testing on appropriately chosen simulated or real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research. This year it is co-located with ALGO 2024.

Important dates
Paper submission deadline: May 19, 2024
Paper notification: June 23, 2024
Camera ready: July 1, 2024
Invitations to authors of selected papers for the WABI 2024 series in AMB: July 15, 2024
Conference: September 2-4, 2024
Extended paper submission deadline (AMB): October 31, 2024

Call for papers
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style and must not exceed 15 pages excluding references. For details please see the information for authors. Each paper must contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, all accessible to non-specialist readers. All submissions must be made online, through the EasyChair submission system, at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wabi2023

For scientific information, please contact one of the WABI program committee co-chairs, Solon P Pissis (solon[at]cwi[dot]nl) or Wing-Kin Sung (kwksung[at]cuhk[dot]edu[dot]hk). For organizational information, please refer to the ALGO 2024 website.

You will need to register on the EasyChair web site before submitting. A standard .pdf file must be received by May 14, 2024 (time zone of your choice) in order for your submission to be considered. Re-submission of already submitted papers will be possible until May 19, 2024 (time zone of your choice). Simultaneous submission to another conference with published proceedings is not permitted, but simultaneous submission to a journal is allowed, provided that the authors notify the program chairs; if published in a journal, such a contribution will be published as a short abstract in the WABI proceedings. Depositing in arxiv.org or biorxiv.org is allowed.

By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2024, attend the conference, and present the paper.

Accepted papers will be published in WABI proceedings in the LIPIcs Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics.

Selected papers will be invited for an extended publication in a thematic series in Algorithms for Molecular Biology (AMB).
