********** CSBio 2015 - Call for Papers ********* The 6th International Conference on Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics (CSBio 2015) will be held in Bangkok on November 22-25, 2015. Important Dates =============== Paper submission deadline: July 31, 2015 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2015 Camera-ready paper submission deadline: October 15, 2015 Early-bird registration deadline: September 22, 2015 Author registration deadline: November 1, 2015 Organizers ========== - King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) - Kasetsart University (KU) - National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) Sponsors ================= - International Neural Network Society - Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal Aims and Scope ============== The Next-Generation Computational Biology - With the advancement in next-generation molecular technology in generating the high-throughput "omics" data, life science has come to the era of "big data". To extract biological knowledge from the data, and translate it into benefits for society (e.g. better medicine and healthcare), novel and advanced computational tools are needed for data analysis. CSBio 2015 would like to invite researchers and industrial counterparts to meet at this event to exchange ideas and stimulate research collaborations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Adaptive computation in bioinformatics * Biological network reconstruction and analysis * Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, etc. * Next-generation sequencing * Gene expression analysis * Proteomics & other omics * Functional genomics * Epigenetics * DNA, RNA and protein sequence analysis * Bio-inspired computing * Parallel and distributed computing for life science * Molecular evolution and phylogeny * Protein folding * Medical and biomedical informatics * Translational bioinformatics * Biomarker discovery * Bio-data visualization * Disease classification * Drug discovery and validation Paper Submission ================ The CSBio 2015 online submission system is opened at EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbio2015). All submissions will be checked by VeriGuide for originality (http://veriguide1.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/portal/page/index.jsp). Publication choices =================== Authors have the following submission choices: 1. Abstracts 2. Conference proceedings 3. Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (JBCB) 4. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ) Option 1. ABSTRACTS ------------------- All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by our committees, and accepted ones will be published in the CSBio 2015 abstracts provided on CD-ROM at the conference. Authors choosing this option have to submit the abstract online as a PDF file. Noted that this option will be considered for poster presentation only. Download the template of abstract here: http://www.csbio.org/2015/Template_Abstract.docx Note: This template is modified in MS Word 2013 and saved as a "Word Document (.docx)" for the PC. It provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. Option 2. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS -------------------------------- All submitted extended abstracts will be peer-reviewed by our committees, and accepted ones will be published in the CSBio 2015 proceedings provided on CD-ROM at the conference. Authors choosing this option have to submit the extended abstract online as a PDF file. Extended abstracts must not exceed 5 pages including the references and pages should not be numbered.
