Call for papers: CIBB 2011 - EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON
COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS FOR BIOINFORMATICS AND BIOSTATISTICS
Gargnano del Garda, 30 June - 2 July 2011
http://www.neuronelab.dmi.unisa.it/cibb2011/
=====================================================

The main goal of the CIBB meetings is to provide a forum open to researchers
from different disciplines to present and discuss problems concerning
computational techniques in bioinformatics, systems biology, medical
informatics and biostatistics with a particular focus on Neural Networks,
Computational Learning, Fuzzy Logic, and Evolutionary Computation, methods and
their relationships with Statistical Pattern Recognition, Non-Parametric
Inference and Computational Statistics.

CIBB 2011 is jointly organized by:
INNS International Neural Network Society SIG Bioinformatics
INNS International Neural Network Society SIG Biopattern BBCT
IEEE-CIS - Task force on Neural Networks

Technical areas addressed by CIBB 2010 include, but are not limited to:
Sequence analysis, promoter analysis and identification of transcription
factor binding sites;
Gene expression data analysis;
Methods for the integration of clinical and genetic data;
Algorithms for alternative splicing analysis;
Methods for the functional classification of genes;
Methods for the unsupervised analysis, validation and visualization of
structures discovered in bio-molecular data;
Prediction of secondary and tertiary protein structures;
Mass spectrometry data analysis in proteomics;
Methods for comparative genomics;
Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis;
Mathematical modelling and simulation of biological systems;
Heterogeneous data integration and data fusion for diagnostics;
Bio-molecular databases and data mining;
Algorithms for pharmacogenetics;
Bio-medical text mining and imaging;
Modeling and evaluation methods for diagnosis and prognosis;
Software tools for bioinformatics.

The scientific program will include, besides some plenary talks, contributed
papers that will be presented in plenary oral and poster sessions. Accepted
papers will be published in the compact disk of conference proceedings. A
selection of papers presented at CIBB 2011 will be published a in post
conference volume printed by an international publisher. Moreover, we are
planning to publish the best papers in extended form in a special issue of an
international scientific journal.
