<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://algo2018.hiit.fi/wabi/">http://algo2018.hiit.fi/wabi/</a>
<h4 class="western">Scope</h4>
<p>All 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 have been implemented
and tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to
present recent research results, including significant
work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future
research.</p>
<h4 class="western">Paper Submission</h4>
<p>Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style and
must not exceed 12 pages including reference. 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:</p>

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style>
<p>You need to register on the EasyChair web site before submitting.
A standard PDF file must be received by midnight on May 4, 2018
(time zone of your choice) in order for your submission to be
considered. 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.</p>
<p>Note, by submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case
of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at <a

class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://algo2018.hiit.fi/">http://algo2018.hiit.fi/</a>)
or WABI 2018, attend the conference, and present the paper.</p>
