BIBM 2012
The IEEE International
Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM) has established itself
as the premier research conference in bioinformatics and biomedicine.
IEEE BIBM 2012 provides a
leading forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and
health informatics. It brings together academic and industrial scientists
from computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and
statistics.
We solicit
high-quality original research papers (including
significant work-in-progress) on any aspect of bioinformatics, biomedicine and
healthcare informatics. New computational
techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text
analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation;
databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and
graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction;
data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modeling and
simulation and their application in life science domain are especially
encouraged. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
1.

INDUSTRIAL
Track
The
Industrial Track solicits papers describing implementations of
Bioinformatics , Biomedicine and healthcare informatics solutions relevant
to industrial settings. The focus of industry track is on papers that
address the practical, applied, or pragmatic or new research challenge
issues related to the use of bioinformatics and biomedicine technologies in
industry.
Journal special
issues: IEEE BIBM has a tradition to publish selected papers as special
issues in highly respected journals. So far we have confirmed the special
issues publications with 7 journals: IEEE Transactions on Information
Technology in Biomedicine, IEEE Transactions on System, Men and
Cybernetics, International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics,
BMC Bioinformatics, BMC
Genomics, BMC Proteome Science, Proteomics, Journal of Network Modeling
and Analysis in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics (In the past
BIBM conference, the number of special issues is: BIBM 2011—8 special
issue, BIBM 2010—7 special issues, BIBM 2009—4 special issue; BIBM 2008—4
special issues)
