Description |
|
| (I) WORKSHOP SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB07/ 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 databases, 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: Text mining and ontologies High-throughput storage/processing/analysis, e.g., gene expression data Visualization of large data sets Interpretation of experiments in the context of knowledge from databases Protein or gene interaction networks RNAi and microRNA analysis Systems biology Pathways Genomic and proteomic sequence analysis Comparative genomics Phylogenetics (II) SUBMISSION DEADLINES & GUIDELINES Deadlines: June 25, 2007 Acceptance: July 25, 2007 Camera ready: July 30, 2007 Workshop date: September 23, 2007 http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB07/importantdates.html Guidelines and instructions http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB07/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 neither be published or under review in other venues. Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. 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 10 pages in double column format for full length papers. Each submission must be accompanied by a separate cover letter with title, key words, all author names and affiliations, and must specify a contact author along with postal address, phone & fax numbers, and email address. (III) WORKSHOP FORMAT http://bio.informatics.indiana.edu/VLDB07/program.html We will release workshop details in the future. All enquiries should be addressed to one of the co-chairs: Mehmet M.
