12th IEEE International Workshop on High Performance Computational Biology
HiCOMB 2013 Monday, May 20, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.hicomb.org/ High-performance computing became an integral part of research and development in bioinformatics and computational biology. The large size of biological data sets, inherent complexity of biological problems and the ability to deal with error-prone data, all result in large run-time and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in developing high-performance computing solutions to data-intensive and compute-intensive problems arising from molecular biology and related life sciences areas. We are especially interested in parallel and distributed algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, including approaches for Bigdata and cloud computing, algorithms on multicores and GPUs, and design of high-performance software for biological applications. The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Bioinformatic databases * Computational genomics and metagenomics * Computational proteomics and metaproteomics * DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping * Gene expression analysis with RNASeq and microarrays * Gene identification and annotation * Parallel algorithms for biological sequence analysis * Parallel architectures for biological applications * Molecular evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms * Protein structure prediction and modeling * Next Generation sequence data analysis * Parallel algorithms in chemical genetics and chemical informatics * High performance algorithms for systems biology * Cloud-enabled solutions for computational biology Important Dates: * Workshop papers due: December 21, 2012 * Authors notification: February 4, 2013 * Camera-ready papers due: February 15, 2013 Workshop Co-chairs: * David Bader, Georgia Institute of Technology * Srinivas Aluru, Iowa State University Program Chair: * Jaroslaw Zola, Iowa State University Program Committee: * Pratul K.
