Scope

 

1. PRIB 2013: The International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR) sponsored conference aims to bring together top researchers, practitioners and students from around the world to discuss the applications of pattern recognition methods in the field of bioinformatics to solve problems in the life sciences. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in the research areas of interest to the workshop. These include, but not limited to:

 

Bio-sequence analysis

Gene and protein expression analysis

Protein structure and interaction prediction

Motifs and signal detection

Metabolic modeling and analysis

Systems and synthetic biology

Pathway and network analysis

Immuno- and chemo-informatics

Evolution and phylogeny

Biological databases, integration and visualization

Bio-imaging

Eco-informatics

Network Systems Biology

Pattern recognition techniques of interest include, but not limited to:

Static, syntactic and structural pattern recognition

Data mining, Data based modeling

Neural networks, Fuzzy systems

Evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence

Hidden Markov models, Graphical models

 

2. CIBB 2013: The main goal of 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 and health informatics with a particular focus on Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Fuzzy Logic, and Evolutionary Computation methods. Technical areas addressed by CIBB 2013 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 functional classification of genes

Methods for 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 modeling and simulation of biological systems

Heterogeneous data integration and data fusion for diagnostics

Bio-molecular databases and data mining

Algorithms for pharmacogenomics

Biomedical text mining and imaging

Methods for diagnosis and prognosis

Software tools for bioinformatics

PRIB: Accepted papers will be published in the Springer series of Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI). Enhanced versions of selected papers will be included in a special issue in the “Journal of Neurocomputing”, the “Pattern Recognition Letters”, and the “BMC Bioinformatics Journal”.

CIBB: Accepted papers will be published on a flash drive with a specific ISBN number for the conference proceedings. A selection of papers presented at CIBB 2013 will appear in a post-conference monograph. Moreover, we are planning to publish the best papers in an extended form in a special issue of an international scientific journal.
