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)
