These mechanisms include those Artificial Intelligence paradigms that exhibit an ability to learn or adapt to new situations, to generalize, abstract, discover and associate. Usually the following paradigms are considered as part of Computational Intelligence: artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, and fuzzy systems. Individual techniques from these Computational Intelligence paradigms, as well as hybrids of these paradigms, have been applied successfully to solve real-world problems from the fields of applied biology, bioinformatics and computational biology. Aim of the Workshop The aim of this workshop is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for bringing together specialists which use Computational Intelligence techniques to deal with real-world problems in theoretical and applied biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. Issues related to the theory of Computational Intelligence techniques, as well as real-life applications in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology will be addressed to this workshop. Topics of Interest The Workshop on "Computational Intelligence Applications in Bioinformatics" welcomes paper submissions introducing and implementing Computational Intelligent techniques to address various applications in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. This workshop will provide a medium for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issues in computational intelligence for modeling and prediction. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Systems Biology Molecular Sequence Alignment and Analysis RNA and protein folding and structure prediction Protein-Protein interactions Biological Networks Biological Processes Biological and Medical Ontologies Computational Proteomics In-silico Optimization of Biological Systems High-Throughput Data Analysis (microarrays, mass spectrometry, EST, NGS etc.) Analysis of Large Biological Data Sets Medical Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition Call for Papers Authors will be invited to submit electronically, in English-language, original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be reviewed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance by at least two reviewers. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the well known LNCS Springer style, the standard format of regular papers, and should be restricted to a maximum of 10 pages. Detailed instructions for preparing the manuscript are provided at: http://delab.csd.auth.gr/eann2011/Submission.html. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in a CD that will be distributed to the participants of the workshop. Furthermore it will be investigated the possibility of publishing the presented research papers in an edited book, issued by some international publisher. The authors should send their submissions in pdf format to: sfg@teikal.gr Workshop Proceedings The workshop proceedings will be included in CD and distributed separately from the main conference to the workshops participants. The authors will be responsible for producing camera-ready copies of papers, conforming to the well known LNCS Springer style formatting guidelines, for inclusion in the proceedings. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend the workshop in order to present the paper. |
