Aims and Scope
==============
In the era of big data challenges, as the availability of biological
information becomes ever larger and more complex, more
computational tools are needed to sort through the data. These
include:
* Development of computational methodologies to perform
systematic studies of complex interactions in biological systems
to enable discovery of new emergent properties that may arise
from the integrated systemic view.
* Development of new algorithms and statistics to assess
biological information, such as relationships among members of
very large data sets.
* Development and implementation of tools that enable efficient
access and management of different types of information, such as
various databases, integrated mapping information.
* Visualization of various types of biological data to aid in
analysis and interpretation of nucleotide and amino acid
sequences, protein domains, and protein structures.

CSBio 2013 would like to gather like minded researchers and
industrial counterparts to meet at this event to exchange ideas
and stimulate research growth.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Adaptive computation in bioinformatics
* Translational bioinformatics
* Medical and biomedical informatics
* Bio-inspired computing
* DNA, RNA and protein sequence analysis
* Gene expression analysis
* Biomarker discovery
* Disease classification
* Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, etc.
* Parallel and distributed computing
* Molecular evolution and phylogeny
* Functional genomics
* Proteomics & other omics
* Protein folding
* Drug discovery and validation
* Biological network reconstruction and analysis
* Bio-data visualization

Paper Submission
================
The CSBio 2013 online submission system is opened at EasyChair
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbio2013).

Prospective authors are invited to submit original, high quality
full papers of up to twelve (12) pages electronically. Short papers of 4-6 pages
will also be considered. The submission must conform to the
Elsevier Procedia Computer Science format
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/719435/description).
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of CSBio
2013 as an Elsevier Procedia Computer Science open
access volume (indexed by EI, Scopus and Conference Proceedings Citation Index
- formerly ISI Proceedings).

All submissions will be checked by VeriGuide for originality
(http://veriguide1.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/portal/page/index.jsp).

Extended versions of selected papers from the conference
proceedings may be invited to the following journals:

- Journal of Biomedical Informatics (Elsevier)
- Memetic Computing (Springer)

Collocated Conference
