INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE (ICCS 2010)
http://www.iccs-meeting.org/

University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
May 31 - June 2, 2010

3rd Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges to Computer Science
http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/iccs2010/

Full papers submission (Extended Deadline): January 15, 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS
Bioinformatics is providing the foundation for fast and reliable data
analysis. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epidemiological, clinical
and text mining applications have made essential progress through using
bioinformatics tools. Standard tools are usually offered through the Web.
This is no longer sufficient with more complex analysis and simulation
tasks from emerging research fields like systems biology, image analysis,
biomedical applications or data management. In recent years Grid and Web
services based approaches have been developed to face the new challenges.
Moreover, emerging life sciences applications need to use in a coordinated
way both bioinformatics tools, biological data banks, and patient’s
clinical data, that requires seamless integration, privacy preservation
and controlled sharing.
This 3rd Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges to Computer
Science will bring together scientists from computer and life sciences to
discuss future directions of bioinformatics algorithms, applications, and
data management. Questions to be looked at are whether wrapping existing
algorithms as Grid or Web service will be sufficient to cope with the more
complex applications and the increasing volume of data to be processed or
which applications would profit from being redeveloped as native parallel
or distributed application. Furthermore, the use of novel parallel
architectures and dedicated hardware to implement bioinformatics and
biomedical algorithms will be discussed.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The workshop is seeking original research papers presenting innovative
solutions from parallel, distributed and Grid computing applied to
bioinformatics algorithms and life sciences applications. Specifically we
are interested in the following topics:
- sequence and structure bioinformatics
- computational proteomics
- systems biology
- biomedical image analysis
- biomedical simulation
- data management
- data integration
- data visualization
- workflow modelling
- distributed biomedical applications
- high performance computing
- dedicated hardware and architectures
- parallelisation techniques
- service orientation
- volunteer computing
- peer-to-peer computing

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
We invite original previously unpublished contributions that are not
submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. The submitted
paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of
Procedia Computer Science (for formatting information see for text/latex
and for MSword. Click here for a Latex template plus instructions).
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. PostScript and source versions of your
paper must be submitted electronically through the paper submission
system.
Please, note that papers must not exceed ten pages in length, when typeset
using the Procedia format.
Dates of deadlines for draft paper submission (full paper), notification
of acceptance, deadline for camera-ready paper submission and registration
may be found in the Important Dates section of the ICCS Web site.
Papers must be based on unpublished, mature and original work and must be
submitted to ICCS only.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
At the end of the workshop, we plan to invite the best 4-6 papers of the
workshop for a special section on an international journal. Selected
papers (extended and revised version) accepted on the 1st edition of the
workshop have been published on a special section of Future Generation
Computer Systems, Elsevier.

IMPORTANT DATES
Full papers submission (Extended Deadline):		January 15, 2010
Notification of acceptance:	February 20, 2010
Camera ready papers:		March 1, 2010
Early registration opens:	February 15, 2010
Early registration closes:	March 31, 2010
Conference sessions :		May 31 - June 2, 2010
