Details of Session:


Aim and Scope

Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the  
field of molecular biology. Over the past few decades rapid  
developments, from one hand, in the technological procedures  
generating vast amount of data and from the other hand, in the  
information technologies enabling the handling of these data has  
brought about this exciting new field termed Bioinformatics which aims  
to shed light into several biological processes.


This invited session aims to provide a platform for researchers to  
share their ideas, experience and research outcomes in Bioinformatics.  
The field of Bioinformatics being by nature a multi disciplinary  
field, we encourage submissions addressing Bioinformatics related  
topics seen from many different perspectives. Authors are invited to  
submit papers based upon academically rigorous research in both  
theoretical development and applied research.


Subject Coverage

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

The application of smart systems to the Bioinformatics area

Databases in the field of Bioinformatics

Services & Tools in the field of Bioinformatics

High throughput data storage & analysis

Comparative Genomics

Genome wide association studies

Transcriptomics

Proteomics & Bioinformatics

Protein-protein interactions

Molecular evolution & Bioinformatics

Systems Biology

Bioinformatics using Intelligent and Machine Learning Techniques

Bioinformatics and the revolution in scholarly publishing



Instructions for Prospective Authors

All papers must be original, of high quality and of approximately 6?8  
pages in length at the publication stage. Submitted papers should not  
have been previously published nor be currently under consideration  
for publication elsewhere.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field,  
and may be accepted for oral presentation. A guide for authors,  
templates, and other relevant information for submitting papers are  
available on the Springer Information for LNCS Authors webpage  
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 ).

Full papers and other inquiries must be sent in the form of a pdf file  
attached to an email, directly to the workshop chair and co-chairs:

Publication

The session papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture  
Notes in AI as part of the LNCS/LNAI series. Extended versions of  
selected papers will be considered for publication in the KES Journal
