2nd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Computing and Analytics for Big Omics Data
In conjunction with IEEE BIBM 2019
November 18-21, 2019, San Diego, CA, USA

HPC-BOD 2019 Call For Papers
Enormous amounts of data are being produced using modern technologies such as Next Generation Sequencing Machines and high-throughput Mass Spectrometers. This creates problems in terms of storage, transmission and computations of these Big Data sets. In order to process such data in a timely manner, big data analytics techniques and high-performance computing is becoming an essential component in system biology, bioinformatics and computational biology.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for big data analytics and high-performance computing professionals and academics alike to discuss latest research in HPC solutions to these compute-intensive and data-intensive problems. We are especially interested in parallel and distributed architectures and algorithms, cache-oblivious and out-of-core HPC algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining and system biology techniques, and novel approaches for big data, cloud computing, multicores, GPUs, FPGA’s and new accelerators for biological applications.

The workshop will feature submitted papers as well as invited papers and talks from reputed researchers in the field of big data analytics, high-performance computing and computational biology. There are three basic research thrusts that the workshop would be interested (but not limited to);

Areas of interest within computational life sciences include (but not limited to):

Computational Genomics and Metagenomics
Genome assembly, long/short read data structures, read mapping, clustering, variant analysis, error correction, genome annotation, and other computational problems in large-scale genomics
