ISMB/ECCB 2013 Call for Special Sessions, Proceedings, Tech Track
Dear ISCB Members and Colleagues, and Past ISMB and ECCB Conference
Attendees,
Following this year's separate and highly successful ISMB in
Long Beach, California, and ECCB in Basel, Switzerland, we are pleased to
announce these calls for participation for next year's joint
ISMB/ECCB 2013, taking place July
21-23 in Berlin, Germany.
Call for Special Session Proposals - deadline October 26, 2012
>>
Full details of the call and a link to the submission form can be
accessed here <<
The Special Sessions run throughout the
ISMB/ECCB conference in parallel to all other tracks. Specifically, Special
Sessions are sought on "hot topics" of emerging themes that most attendees are
not currently approaching with desired proficiency. Proposals should be of
topics not covered in previous Special Sessions at ISMB or ISMB/ECCB meetings,
but that nonetheless importantly influence bioinformatics and computational
biology. If you are interested in organizing a Special Session at ISMB/ECCB
2013, please link to the details of the call and submission form above, and be
sure to submit your proposal by the October 26th deadline.
Call for Proceedings Track Papers - deadline January 7, 2013

Submissions are also being solicited for
the Proceedings Track. These are original research papers that, if selected,
will be presented as talks and published in the conference proceedings in an
open access, online-only section of a regular issue of Bioinformatics. Papers
should be submitted in their final form; poor quality submissions or
insufficiently prepared papers are very often rejected. ISMB Proceedings result
in fully citable articles, indexed by Medline and ISI. We encourage you to
submit an unpublished paper of your very best work for consideration by January
7th.
Call for Technology Track Presentations - deadline April 26, 2013
>> Full details of the call and a link to the submission form can be accessed here <<
The Technology Track provides an
opportunity for organizations to showcase their software and/or hardware that is
relevant to the bioinformatics-molecular biology community. To apply for a
Technology Track presentation slot, organizations must complete an online form
by April 26th. Accepted Tech Track applicants are required to make a payment
based on the organization's status as a non- or for-profit enterprise. This
payment is in addition to the conference registration fees required of all
attendees, including presenters in each of the parallel tracks.
On behalf
of the ISMB/ECCB 2013 Steering and Scientific Organizing Committees, we look
forward to seeing you in Berlin next July!br>
Sincerely,
Michal
Linial, Special Sessions Chair
Nir Ben-Tal, Proceedings Track Chair
