EvoBio 2010 - Last Call for paper submission

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] EvoBIO 2010 LAST CALL FOR PAPERS The 8th annual European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics. Istanbul, Turkey, 7-9 April 2010 Submission deadline 30th November 2009 http://www.evostar.org The European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers working in Bioinformatics that apply advanced techniques coming from Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning, and Data Mining to address important problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics. The primary focus of the conference is to present the latest advances of these approaches for Bioinformatics and to provide a forum for the discussion of new research directions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * biomarker discovery * cell simulation and modelling * ecological modelling * fluxomics * gene networks * high-throughput biotechnology * metabolomics * microarray analysis * phylogeny * protein interaction * proteomics * sequence analysis and alignment * biological networks analysis * systems biology EvoBIO 2010 will be the 8th annual European Conference on Evolutionary Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics. The conference will be held in conjunction with the EuroGP (13th European Conference on Genetic Programming), EvoCOP 2010 (10th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation) and EvoApplication 2010, the specialist conference on a range of evolutionary computation topics and applications. We are interested in papers in three major areas: 1) Full research articles (maximum 12 pages) describing new methodologies, approaches, and/or applications (oral or poster presentation) 2) System Demonstrations (maximum 6 pages) outlining the nature of the system and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest for the conference. Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in research or practice domains. Selected demo submissions may be asked to give an oral presentation in the conference sessions. 3) Short reports (maximum 6 pages) describing new methodologies, approaches, and/or applications (poster presentation) Each accepted paper will be presented orally or as a poster at the conference and will be printed in the proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series. The accepted papers of the previous editions of EvoBIO were published in the Springer Verlag LNCS 2611, 3005, 3449, 3907, 4447, 4973, 5483 respectively. The authors of papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated for the 'Best paper Award'. Papers nominated for the best paper award will also be invited to expand their publication for a special issue of BioData Mining. Submission Submission can be done electronically using the online submission service at http://myreview.csregistry.org/evobio10/ More details are available at the conference website www.evostar.org Important dates: Submission deadline:30th November 2009 Notification of acceptance: 6th January 2010 Camera ready papers due: 15th January 2010 Conference: 7th - 9th April 2010 Chairs Program Chairs Clara Pizzuti, ICAR, National Research Council of Italy, Italy - pizzuti(at)icar.cnr.it Marylyn Ritchie, Vanderbilt University, USA - ritchie(at)chgr.mc.vanderbilt.edu Publicity Chair Stephen Dignum, Essex University, United Kingdom - sandig(at)essex.ac.uk Evo* Local Chair Şima Uyar, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - etaner(at)itu.edu.tr Evo* Coordinator and Administrative Contact Jennifer Willies, The Centre for Informatics Research, Napier University, Scotland, UK. - j.willies(at)napier.ac.uk CONTACTS For any information please contact the EvoBIO program chairs at pizzuti(at)icar.cnr.it, ritchie(at)chgr.mc.vanderbilt.edu
