© 2006 International Society for Computational Biology. | Introducing the PLoS Track of Oral Presentations A new and exciting feature of the ISMB 2006 conference is the PLoS Track of Oral Presentations, sponsored by the Public Library of Science and chaired by ISCB Vice President Barbara Bryant. One-page abstract submissions are being accepted now through May 1 at pdbrs7.sdsc.edu:8080/ISMB2006/start.do. For this new track we are seeking work that has led to new biological results, and research that has advanced biomedicine. We are also interested in novel methodologies, including new algorithms and new kinds of biological data that are conducive to computational analyses. Particularly encouraged are submissions on works that are novel, that are applied, that are motivating to hear about and/or expand the subject areas that computational biologists traditionally have addressed. Rigorous peer review of all submitted abstracts
will result in the selection of nearly 30 full length talks (25
minutes each). Featuring outstanding science which might not otherwise
be presented at ISMB, the PLoS Track will comprise at least one
quarter of all selected talks at the conference. This is a particularly
important addition to the scientific programming of ISMB 2006, potentially
impacting the evolution of this conference series for the long term
by attracting more biologists and featuring a focused track of specific
biological results and applications to the conference. |
