Call For Papers - CFP

One of the goals of the special issue is to discover how the bioinformatics scientific community is trying to take advantage of a variety of modern high-end parallel and distributed architectures. High-throughput DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, protein folding, and sequences alignment have led to an exponential deluge in the amount of biological data, which in turn are geographically spread in several laboratories and data repositories. There is a tremendous potential for end-users and researchers to conduct large-scale computations on distributed resources by using a combination of the following technologies:

Distributed middleware for connecting data/cluster computing centers: this includes Grid computing middleware for user authentication and accounting, remote job submission, resource scheduling/reservation, and data management and MapReduce implementations

Virtualization technologies capable of providing on-demand application-specific execution environments: this involves a style of computing, cloud computing, in which on-demand resources are provided as a service over the Internet

Production grids have been successfully used; cloud computing is emerging, enabling convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Relevant work discussing life sciences/bioinformatics problems requiring parallel/distributed computing challenges to be solved will also be considered, if a clear description of why current infrastructures and sequential implementations are not enough is provided, along with what scientific (biological/biomedical) impact and advances would be possible exploiting state-of-the-art computing. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Parallel algorithms for bioinformatics applications using MPI and/or OpenMP

GPGPU parallel algorithms for bioinformatics applications using OpenCL or CUDA

Exploiting modern parallel architectures including FPGA, many-core processors, multicore processors

Grid/cloud Infrastructures for bioinformatics data analysis and management

Grid/cloud-based applications in the life sciences

MapReduce-based parallel bioinformatics applications

Workflow applications in distributed environments

Grid/cloud computing infrastructures, middleware, and tools for bioinformatics

Grid/cloud computing bioinformatics services

Security and privacy preserving in bioinformatics grids/cloud
