Call For Papers - CFP

The 9th annual European Conference on Evolutionary

Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics.

Torino, Italy, 27-29 April 2011

EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 13 December 2010

The European Conference on Evolutionary Computation,

Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics is a

multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers working in

Bioinformatics that apply advanced techniques coming from Evolutionary

Computation, Machine Learning, and Data Mining to address important

problems in molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and genetics.

The primary focus of the conference is to present the latest advances of

these approaches for Bioinformatics and to provide a forum for the

discussion of new research directions.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* biomarker discovery

* cell simulation and modelling

* ecological modelling

* fluxomics

* gene networks

* high-throughput biotechnology

* metabolomics

* microarray analysis

* phylogeny

* protein interaction

* proteomics

* sequence analysis and alignment

* biological networks analysis

* systems biology

EvoBIO 2011 will be the 9th annual European Conference on Evolutionary

Computation, Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics. The

conference will be held in conjunction with the EuroGP (13th European

Conference on Genetic Programming), EvoCOP 2010 (10th European

Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation)

and EvoApplication 2010, the specialist conference on a range of

evolutionary computation topics and applications.

Publication Details

Each accepted paper will be presented orally or as a poster at the conference and

will be printed in the proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.

The accepted papers of the previous editions of evobio were published in the

Springer Verlag LNCS. The first 4 editions (2003?2006) were published in the LNCS

2611, 3005, 3449, 3907, together with the remaining evoWorkshops.

Since 2007 evobio became a evo* conference and its proceedings were published in

Springer Verlag LNCS 4447, 4973, 5483, 6023, respectively.

The authors of papers which receive the best reviews will be nominated for the

Best paper Award. Papers nominated for the best paper award will also be

invited to expand their publication for a special issue of BioData Mining.

Submission Details

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The submissions will

be peer reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.

The authors of accepted papers will have to improve their paper on the basis

of the reviewers’ comments and will be asked to send a camera ready version

of their manuscripts. At least one author of each accepted work has to register

for the conference and attend the conference and present the work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind, please omit information about the

authors in the submitted paper. Submit your manuscript in Springer LNCS format.

evobio is interested in papers in three major areas:

1. Full research articles (maximum 12 pages) describing new methodologies,

approaches, and/or applications (oral or poster presentation).

2. System Demonstrations (maximum 6 pages) outlining the nature of the system

and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest for the conference.

Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in

research or practice domains. Selected demo submissions may be asked to give an

oral presentation in the conference sessions.

3. Short reports (maximum 6 pages) describing new methodologies, approaches, and/or

applications (poster presentation)
