CALL FOR PAPERS This workshop aims to bring together computer scientists, biologists and clinicians for exploring the current state-of-the-art of computational methods for analysis and management of omics data, including acquisition and preprocessing of omics data coming from biological laboratory experiments, annotation and analysis of data results, and finally integration into clinical data practices and applications. The workshop intends to provide a forum for the presentation of original research, valuable software tools (basic algorithms, modelling, analysis, and visualization tools, databases), and clinical fallouts, on topics of importance to computational genomics, proteomics and interactomics. TOPICS OF INTEREST Data management and analysis of omics data o Pre-processing and analysis of omics data o Pre-processing and analysis for next generation sequencing data o Pattern extraction from omics data o Software environments for proteomics and genomics workflows o Exploration and visualization of omics data o Data models and integration for proteomics and genomics o Querying and retrieval of omics data o Knowledge management, text mining and ontologies for proteomics and genomics o Parallel and Grid-based methods for proteomics and genomics o Service Oriented approaches for Life Sciences applications o Standards in proteomics and genomics o Cloud computing in bioinformatics Applications of Genomics and Proteomics in Clinical Practice o Biomarker discovery (identification of molecular targets for early detection, prognosis and treatment of diseases) o Technologies and data models for phenotype, genotype and proteotype data o Integration and analysis of omics and medical data for clinical applications o Data quality and provenance o Biomedical Images analysis IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: EXTENDED FEBRUARY 10, 2012 Notification of acceptance : March 15, 2012 Final camera-ready paper due: April 10, 2012 Pre-registration deadline: April 10, 2012 CBMS symposium days: June 20-22 2012
