(TCBB)

------------------------ Call for Papers ------------------------------

The 11th International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics (BIOKDD’12)
Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012
Workshop Date: August 12, 2012
Venue: Beijing, China
Website: http://bio.informatics.iupui.edu/biokdd12/

In conjunction with the 18th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (SIGKDD’12)


BIOKDD 2012 encourages submissions on analyzing a broad range of
biological, biochemical, and clinical datasets.
The data of interest include "omic" datasets (genomic, transcriptomic,
proteomic, metabolomic, interactomic), biochemical datasets, and
clinical datasets (ranging from physiological measurements to free
text).
Papers that integrate multiple types of data to extract novel
information will also be of great interest to the workshop.
The topics of interest, classified according to data type, include the
following:


Genomics/Sequence Analysis:
------------------------------
------
Analysis of next-generation sequencing data Phylogenetics and
comparative genomics Genome-wide association studies and genetic
interactions Motif finding; Population genetics, Haplotype analysis

Transcriptomics/Functional Genomics:
----------------------------------------------
Analysis of DNA microarray and RNA-seq data RNAi and microRNA analysis
Biomarker discovery; RNA structure prediction

Proteomics:
-------------
Computational proteomics
Prediction of protein structure and interactions Identification of
drug targets Post-translational regulation of proteins

Metabolomics:
-----------------
Analysis and comparison of metabolic networks and pathways

Systems Biology/Interactomics:
--------------------------------------
Analysis of protein interaction networks Genetic regulatory networks,
DNA-protein interactions Modeling of biological systems Mining of
gene-environment, gene-drug, drug-drug interactions

Clinical and Translational Informatics:
---------------------------------------------
Mining electronic health records
Ontologies
Privacy issues in medical informatics


Papers should be at most 10 pages long, single-spaced, in font size 10
or larger with one-inch margins on all sides.
Paper should be submitted in PDF/PS format through Easychar at the
following link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=biokdd12
Camera-ready format papers may be referenced from previous BIOKDD
conference proceedings (e.g., BIOKDD10, BIOKDD11)

Important Dates:
--------------------
5/15/2012 Paper Submission Due
6/06/2012 Notification of Acceptance
6/15/2012 Camera-ready Paper Due
8/12/2012 Workshop Presentation

Publication:
-------------
All papers will be published at the workshop proceedings and at the
ACM digital library.
For accepted workshop papers, we require that each camera-ready paper
be formatted strictly according to the official ACM Proceedings
Format. Please submit PDF file only.
To prepare for the camera-ready PDF file submission, you may use
either the Microsoft word template or the Latex files preparation
instructions found here. All final camera-ready submissions must be
accompanied by a completed digital copy (scanned Okay) of the ACM
copyright transfer form, or else the paper cannot be included in the
final workshop proceedings.

Publication of Proceedings and Extended Journal Versions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All accepted papers will be published at the workshop proceedings and
at the ACM digital library.

A selection of accepted papers will also be invited to be submitted to
a special issue of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology
(TCBB). Each paper submitted to the special issue should contain "a
sufficient amount of new material" relative to the worksop version, by
TCBB’s (and IEEE’s) rules as specified here:
http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewjournals/author#preliminary
These papers will go through further review before acceptance for
publication at TCBB.
