> THEME AND SCOPE
> Cancer biology is undergoing a revolution driven by the application of
> high-throughput techniques such as genome sequencing, gene and miRNA
> expression profiling, and mass spectrometry to tumor samples.  These
> techniques produce large quantities of data with the potential to
> transform fundamental knowledge of cancer biology and clinical  
> practice.
> Cancer is disease of tremendous complexity, and thus the analysis and
> interpretation of this data demands sophisticated, specialized
> computational methods.
>
> This workshop brings together leading researchers in the mathematical,
> computational and life sciences to discuss emerging frontiers in
> computational cancer research. The emphasis of all contributed work  
> will
> be on applying statistical and algorithmic approaches to improve our
> understanding of cancer and on the development of useful, effective  
> and
> efficient new methods in this area.
>
>
> CONTRIBUTIONS
> We solicit contributions in four different categories as follows:
>
> 1. Manuscripts describing original work on computational aspects of
> cancer research. These should describe method development and
> application and will be considered for a special track publication in
> BMC Bioinformatics. Please see manuscript guidelines below and on the
> conference website.
> 2. Highlights Track abstracts. 1-2 pages describing
> computational aspects of work that has recently been published
> elsewhere. These will be considered for short presentations as well as
> for posters.
> 3. Abstracts for short talks. 1-2 pages describing
> original work, including software applications. These will be  
> considered
> for short presentations as well as for posters.
> 4. Posters.
>
> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
>
> * Gene and protein expression data analysis in cancer Analysis of copy
> * number variation Statistical genetics of cancer Biomarkers & cancer
> * signatures Models of cancer progression or development The role of
> * miRNA and small RNAs in cancer Epigenetics Inference of cancer
> * networks e.g. signaling networks Integrative approaches to
> * understanding cancer

> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> Manuscripts should be no more than 10 single-spaced US letter or A4
> pages with at most a 6.5x9" text area in at least 11 point font. Title
> and authors, corresponding author's email address, 100-250 word
> abstract, references, figures, and tables all included.  An optional
> short appendix may contain details or additional data to be  
> consulted at
> the discretion of the program committee.  Authors of accepted
> manuscripts will have to reformat them for BMC Bioinformatics.
>
> Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the
> EasyChair system (on the conference website).  Submissions must be
> received in electronic form by April 25, 2010.
>
> Manuscripts submitted for review should represent original, previously
> unpublished work.  At the time of submission to the workshop, and for
> the entire review period, the work should not be under review by any
> other conference or scientific journal.
>
> Accepted submissions will appear in BMC Bioinformatics.  Authors of
> accepted submissions are invited to give a presentation at the  
> workshop.
>
>
> CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND POSTERS
> (Tracks for highlights and for short talks)
>
> Abstracts containing original and unpublished material will be
> considered for oral presentation.  Abstracts describing computational
> aspects of work recently published elsewhere will be considered for  
> oral
> presentation in the Highlights track.
>
> All abstracts are limited to two pages, can contain figures, and  
> must be
> submitted electronically in PDF format via the EasyChair system (on  
> the
> conference website).  To be considered for oral presentaion,  
> submissions
> must be received in electronic form by May 20, 2010.
>
> Abstracts for poster presentation only will be accepted until June 1,
> 2010.
>
> Selection of abstracts for oral and poster presentation will be made  
> by
> the program committee.
