Aims and Scope
==============
With the advent of technologies like DNA sequencing and DNA
microarray, an enormous amount of information has been generated
that can only be efficiently analyzed with computers. As the 
information becomes ever larger and more complex, more 
computational tools are needed to sort through the data. These 
include: 
* Development of new algorithms and statistics to assess 
biological information, such as relationships among members of 
very large data sets. 
* 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 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. 

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

Paper Submission
================
The CSBio 2012 online submission system is opened at EasyChair
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbio2012).

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 
2012 as an Elsevier Procedia Computer Science open 
access volume (indexed by EI, Scopus and Conference Proceedings Citation Index 
- formerly ISI Proceedings).
Extended version of selected papers will be 
invited for publication in special issues of international 
journals after the conference. All submissions will be checked by 
VeriGuide for originality 
(http://veriguide1.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/portal/page/index.jsp).

Journal versions of selected papers from the conference 
proceedings will be invited to the following thematic issues:

- Journal of Biomedical Informatics (Elsevier) - "Computational 
Advances in Translational Bioinformatics"
- Memetic Computing (Springer) - "Modern Applications of Adaptive 
Computation in Bioinformatics" 

Collocated Conferences
