Call for Papers
9th International Symposium on
Bioinformatics
Research and Applications 

Charlotte, North Carolina
May 20-22, 2013Short Abstract Deadline: April 1, 2013
The International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and results among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications.  Submissions presenting original research are solicited in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Biomedical databases and data integration
High-performance bio-computing
Biomolecular imaging
High-throughput sequencing data analysis
Bio-ontologies
Molecular evolution
Comparative genomics and phylogenomics
Molecular modeling and simulation
Computational genetic epidemiology
Pattern discovery and classification
Computational proteomics
Population genetics
Data mining and visualization
Software tools and applications
Gene expression analysis
Structural biology
Genome analysis
Systems biology

We seek two categories of submissions: extended abstracts of up to 12 pages in
Springer LNCS format, and short abstracts of up to 4 pages.  Both types of submissions must be made electronically by following the instructions at 
Submissions.  Submission implies willingness of at least one author to register and present at the symposium.  Accepted extended abstracts will be published prior to the symposium in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series and presented orally at the symposium.  Full versions of selected extended abstracts presented at the symposium will be invited to a peer-reviewed special issue of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.  Accepted short abstracts will be distributed electronically and selected for either oral or poster presentation at the symposium.  The authors of selected short abstracts will be invited to submit full versions to a peer-reviewed supplement to be published after the symposium by BMC Bioinformatics.  Per current BMC policies, full versions of extended abstracts published in LNBI are not eligible for publication in the BMC supplement.
