24th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences

Bioinformatics and Bioengineering Track

Authors are invited to submit original papers to the "Bioinformatics and Bioengineering" track of the "24th International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences" (ISCIS-2009). ISCIS is a large annual gathering of researchers from a broad spectrum of Computer and Information Sciences. The interdisciplinary fields of Bioinformatics and Bioengineering will especially benefit from the interface of many research areas participating in ISCIS. The event will be composed of research presentations, keynote speeches, invited talks, and poster presentations. This year, ISCIS will be held on Sep 14-16, 2009, in North Cyprus, which combines beautiful bays with a sunny climate all year around.

The submitted papers are expected to be in broad areas of Bioinformatics and Bioengineering, including

• Biomedical Data Mining and Engineering
• Molecular Sequence/Structure Databases
• Sequence/Structure Search and Alignment
• Functional Genomics, Proteomics
• Medical Informatics
• Drug Discovery
• Protein folding and fold recognition
• Microarray Technologies
• Data Visualization
• Bio-imaging
• Biomedical & Biological Sensors
• Tissue Engineering
• Novel applications

The submitted papers must be original and currently not under review elsewhere. The accepted articles will be published in IEEE Proceedings and will be included in the IEEE digital library. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium. Papers should be prepared following IEEE format, double column, minimum 10pt fonts, and up to 6 pages.
