CALL FOR PAPERS
COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS BIOINFORMATICS
CSB2009
AUGUST 10-13, 2009 STANFORD, CALIFORNIA

You are invited to submit papers to the 2009 Life Sciences Society
Computational Systems
Bioinformatics Conference (CSB2009). The conference's goal is to facilitate
exchange of ideas and
collaborations between computational scientists and biologists by presenting
cutting-edge computational
and systems biology research findings. Such research has an
interdisciplinary character. Computer science
and mathematical modeling papers must contain a concise description of the
biological problem being
solved, and biology papers should show how computation or analysis affects
the results. Topics of interest
include (but are not limited to):
• Sequence comparison
• Promoter Analysis and Discovery
• Biological Data Mining and Visualization
• Evolution and Phylogenetics
• Protein Structures and Complexes
• Microarray Data Analysis
• Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology
• SNPs and Haplotyping
• Biological Literature Mining
• Executable Biology
• Mathematical and quantitative models of
cellular and multicellular systems
• High Performance Bio-Computing
• Functional Genomics
• Comparative Genomics
• Proteomic Data Analysis
• Metagenomics
• Drug Discovery
• Chemical Genetics
• RNAi
• Bioenergy
• MicroRNA
• Biomedical Applications
• Translational Research
• Microbial community analysis
• Synthetic Biological Systems

Papers are limited to 12 pages, single-spaced, in 12-point type, including
title, abstract (250 words
or less), figures, tables, text, and bibliography. The first page should
give keywords, authors' postal and
electronic mailing addresses. Papers must not have been previously published
and must not be currently
under consideration for publication elsewhere. Papers will be submitted
electronically in MS Word,
postscript or PDF format.

Papers will have 25 minutes of presentation time. Paper submissions can be
made at the site
http://csbl.bmb.uga.edu/conference/CSB2009/webconf/

Medline indexes papers appearing in CSB Proceedings. A select subset of
accepted papers will be
invited to publish an extended version in the Journal of Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology. The
Best Paper will be selected by the program committee and announced at the
awards ceremony.

Important Dates:
• Submission deadline: March 15, 2009
• Paper acceptance decision: May 4, 2009
• Final revised draft due to publisher: May 25, 2009

Send e-mail enquiries to CSB2009 [at] LifeSciencesSociety [dot] org. Information about
poster submissions and
tutorial proposals will be posted at
