| MLSB 2012: Machine Learning on Systems Biology Workshop Basel, Switzerland, September 8 and 9, 2012 http://mlsb.cc ============================================ Important dates: Submission deadline for special issue papers: May 21, 2012 Submission deadline for revised ECCB manuscripts for special issue: June 4, 2012 Submission deadline for extended abstracts for MLSB (details): June 7, 2012 Author notification for special issue submissions: June 19, 2012 Author notification for extended abstracts for MLSB: June 28, 2012 Workshop: September 8-9, 2012 All deadlines are 23:59 in the time zone of your choice. ============================================ MLSB12, the Sixth International Workshop on Machine Learning in Systems Biology will be held in Basel, Switzerland on September 8 and 9, 2012. The Workshop is organized as "Satellite Meeting" of the 11th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB). The aim of this workshop is to contribute to the cross-fertilization between the research in machine learning methods and their applications to systems biology (i.e., complex biological and medical questions) by bringing together method developers and experimentalists. We encourage submissions bringing forward methods for discovering complex structures (e.g. interaction networks, molecule structures) and methods supporting genome-wide data analysis. ============================================ There are two calls for submissions for this event: 1) Call for Contributions/Extended Abstracts 2) Call for Papers: Issue on “Computational Systems Biology” in OUP Bioinformatics Please find the text of both calls below. ============================================ 1) Call for Contributions for the Machine Learning in Systems Biology Workshop (MLSB 2012) in Basel, Switzerland, September 8 and 9, 2012 http://mlsb.cc/cfc The deadline for submissions of extended abstracts is June 7, 2012 (23:59 in the time zone of your choice). We invite you to submit an extended abstract of up to 2 pages describing new or recently published (2012) results, formatted according to the NIPS style format (MLSB is not double-blind this year). Each extended abstract must be submitted online via the Easychair submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlsb2012. The extended abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific programme committee. They will be selected for oral or poster presentation according to their originality and relevance to the workshop topics. Electronic versions of the extended abstracts will be accessible to the participants prior to the conference, distributed in hardcopy form to participants at the conference, and will be made publicly available on the conference web site after the conference. However, the book of abstracts will not be published and the extended abstracts will not constitute a formal publication. Topics: We encourage submissions bringing forward methods for discovering complex structures (e.g. interaction networks, molecule structures) and methods supporting genome-wide data analysis. A non-exhaustive list of topics suitable for this workshop are: Methods: Machine Learning Algorithms Bayesian Methods Data integration/fusion Feature/subspace selection Clustering Metabolic pathway modeling Biclustering/association rules Kernel Methods Probabilistic inference Structured output prediction Systems identification Graph inference, completion, smoothing Semi-supervised learning Applications: Sequence Annotation Gene Expression and post-transcriptional regulation Inference of gene regulation networks Gene prediction and whole genome association studies Signaling networks Systems biology approaches to biomarker identification Rational drug design methods Metabolic reconstruction Protein function and structure prediction Protein-protein interaction networks Synthetic biology Key Dates: - June 7 - Extended abstract submission deadline (23:59 in the time zone of your choice). - June 28 - Author Notification ============================================ 2) Call for Papers: Issue on "Computational Systems Biology" in OUP Bioinformatics in conjunction with the Machine Learning in Systems Biology Workshop (MLSB 2012) in Basel, Switzerland, September 8 and 9, 2012 http://mlsb.cc/cfp As a new feature of this year’s MLSB, full paper submissions to MLSB will be considered for publication in a virtual issue on "Computational Systems Biology" in a special proceedings section of Bioinformatics (Oxford University Press). In parallel, we allow submissions of extended abstracts -- as stated in the Call for Contributions -- solely for oral/poster presentation at MLSB, without consideration for publication in the issue. Submissions: We are soliciting high-quality papers on all aspects of computational methods in systems biology. All submissions will go through rigorous peer-review. Accepted papers will be presented by the authors in an oral presentation at MLSB and published in the virtual issue on "Computational Systems Biology" in OUP Bioinformatics. Papers requiring extensive revisions will be considered separately as abstract presentations at MLSB and as regular papers for the Bioinformatics journal. All manuscripts should be submitted via the Bioinformatics online submission system. Manuscripts must adhere to the formatting instructions for "Original papers" in Bioinformatics. During submission please specify MLSB as one of the keywords, and include a cover letter stating the manuscript should be considered for the MLSB meeting. Deadline for paper submission is May 21st. Authors of papers that were submitted, but not selected, for the main ECCB 2012 meeting may submit an updated version of their ECCB paper with the full ECCB reviews and a clearly marked response to the reviews for MLSB consideration by June 4th. They will be notified of any decision by June 18th. We encourage all authors to publish under the OUP open access model. Open access fees apply (details). Key Dates: - May 21 - Paper submission deadline (23:59 in the time zone of your choice). - June 4 - Revised ECCB manuscript submission deadline - June 19 - Paper Acceptance Notification - June 28 - Submission of final revisions to Bioinformatics ---- MLSB 2012 Chairs & Issue Editors Karsten Borgwardt, Max Planck Institutes and University of Tübingen Gunnar Rätsch, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York |
