| Call for Papers 2006 VLDB Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics Seoul, Korea http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB06/ (I) WORKSHOP SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB06/ Mining biological data is an emerging area of intersection between bioinformatics and data mining. Bioinformaticians have taken a computational approach to understanding biological phenomena. Because these phenomena are typically characterized by large and increasing amounts of data, divers and unusual data types, and complex relationships, interpreting biological data requires novel approaches that include multiple tools, new algorithms, resources, etc. in an integrated fashion. Data mining has focused on extracting useful information from large database, focusing on scalable, robust algorithms and their implementations. The proposed workshop will respond to both these areas of research by encouraging researchers in the data mining community to bring to bear novel techniques, combinations of tools, and so forth to mine biological data. The objective of the workshop is to facilitate collaboration between data mining researchers and bioinformaticians by presenting cutting edge research topics and methodologies in the area of data mining for bioinformatics. While such research has an interdisciplinary character, this workshop emphasizes on the area of data mining with particular application to bioinformatics. The workshop will feature invited talks from noted experts in the field and the latest data mining research in bioinformatics. We encourage papers that propose novel data mining techniques for tasks such as: Sequence clustering/classification Protein interaction networks Comparative genomics Microarray analysis RNAi and microRNA analysis Whole, multiple genome comparison Visualization Phylogenetics Text mining and ontologies System biology and pathways (II) SUBMISSION DEADLINES & GUIDELINES Deadlines: May 30, 2006 http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB06/importantdates.html Guidelines and instructions http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB06/submission.html We invite papers on original research. Submissions must clearly identify the nature of the paper. All submitted papers will peer reviewed and evaluated on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. The submitted material must not be either published or under review in other venues. We plan to publish the proceedings in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LIBI). By submitting a paper, authors explicitly agree that at least one of them will register for the workshop and present the paper. Submissions must not exceed 15 pages for full length papers and 6 pages for research-in-progress proposals and must be formatted using the camera-ready templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see below). Author instructions can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Each submission must be accompanied by a separate cover letter with title, key words, every author name and affiliation, and must specify a contact author along with postal address, phone & fax numbers, and email address. Submissions must be in electronic form using Portable Document Format (.pdf) via email to jiong1[at]eecs[dot]cwru[dot]edu. (III) WORKSHOP FORMAT http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB06/program.html We will release workshop details in the future. All enquiries should be addressed to one of the co-chairs: Mehmet M. Dalkilic: dalkilic@indiana.edu Sun Kim: sunkim@bio.informatics.indiana.edu Jiong Yang: jiong.yang@case.edu |
