                               CALL FOR PAPERS
AIMS & SCOPE
Emerging technologies in genomics, proteomics, interactomics and other
life science areas are generating an increasing amount of complex data and
information. The evolving data and information ecosystem includes large
experimental “omics” data sets, natural language text from the scientific
literature and the Web, and highly connected heterogeneous information
networks, such as open linked data distributed on the Internet.
Integrating and analysing this information in the context of modern life
science research problems and biomedical applications poses a considerable
challenge for bioinformatics and computational biology. Traditionally,
bioinformatics has concentrated on methods and technologies facilitating
the acquisition, storage, organization, archiving, analysis and
visualization of biological and medical data. Computational biology, on
the other, hand, has emphasized mathematical and computational techniques
facilitating the modelling and simulation of biomedical processes and
systems. In recent years the distinction between these two fields has
become increasingly blurred. In order to tackle the growing complexity
associated with emerging and future life science challenges,
bioinformatics and computational biology researchers and developers need
to explore, develop and apply novel computational concepts, methods, tools
and systems. Many of these new approaches are likely to involve advanced
and large-scale computing techniques, technologies and infrastructures
such as:
* High-performance architectures and systems (e.g., multicore, GPU);
* Distributed computing (e.g. grid, cloud, peer-to-peer, Web services,
e-infrastructures);
* Data and information management and integration (e.g., databases, data
warehousing, data fusion);
* Knowledge discovery/management (e.g., knowledge bases, data mining,
ontologies, workflow);
* Computational simulation (mechanistic, stochastic, multi-model);
* Artificial and computational intelligence (machine learning, agents,
evolutionary techniques).

Together, these topics cover the key bioinformatics and computational
biology techniques and technologies encountered in modern life science
environments: (1) Advanced computing architectures/infrastructures; (2)
Data/information management and integration; (3) Data/information analysis
and knowledge discovery; (4) Integration of quantitative/symbolic
knowledge into executable biomedical “theories” or models. The aim of this
workshop is to bring together computer and life scientists to discuss
emerging and future directions in these areas.
This is the 7th edition of this workshop, which was previously held in
Kraków (2008), Baton Rouge (2009), Amsterdam (2010), Singapore (2011),
Omaha (2012) and Barcelona (2013).  The 6th and 7th edition have been
modified to incorporate the advanced and large-scale bioinformatics and
computational biology challenges associated with executable “theories” or
models.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The workshop is seeking original research contributions presenting
innovative bioinformatics and computational biology concepts and solutions

limited to the following:
