CIBB 2010 - SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON COMPUTATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE METHODS FOR BIOINFORMATICS AND BIOSTATISTICS
Palermo, 16-18 September 2010
The main goal of the CIBB meetings is to provide a forum open to researchers from different
disciplines to present and discuss problems concerning computational techniques in
bioinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics with a particular focus on Neural
Networks, Machine Learning, Fuzzy Logic, and Evolutionary Computation methods.
CIBB 2010 is jointly organized by:
• INNS International Neural Network Society SIG Bioinformatics
• INNS International Neural Network Society SIG Biopattern
• BBCT IEEE-CIS - Task force on Neural Networks
Technical areas addressed by CIBB 2010 include, but are not limited to:
Sequence analysis, promoter analysis and identification of transcription factor binding sites;
Gene expression data analysis; Methods for the integration of clinical and genetic data;
Algorithms for alternative splicing analysis; Methods for the functional classification of
genes; Methods for the unsupervised analysis, validation and visualization of structures
discovered in bio-molecular data; Prediction of secondary and tertiary protein structures;
Mass spectrometry data analysis in proteomics; Methods for comparative genomics;
Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis; Mathematical modelling and
simulation of biological systems; Heterogeneous data integration and data fusion for
diagnostics; Bio-molecular databases and data mining; Algorithms for pharmacogenetics;
Bio-medical text mining and imaging; Methods for diagnosis and prognosis; Software tools
for bioinformatics
The scientific program will include, besides some plenary talks, contributed papers that will
be presented in plenary oral or poster sessions. Accepted papers will be published in the
compact disk of conference proceedings. A selection of papers presented at CIBB 2010 will
be published a in post conference volume printed by an international publisher. Moreover, we
are planning to publish the best papers in extended form in a special issue of an international
scientific journal.
Important Dates:
Tutorial and Special Session Proposals: 28 February 2010
Paper submission deadline: 20 May 2010
Notification of acceptance: 20 June 2010
Final paper due: 14 July 2010
Conference: 16-18 September 2010
