[BBC] Call for papers PRIB 2011

International Conference on Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics

Call for Papers - UPDATED DEADLINE

Please distributed to interested people

In modern biology, high-throughput measurement devices allow scientists 
to gather data at unprecedented rates. To make sense of this data, 
computational biologists and system biologists construct quantitative 
models, many of which depend on pattern recognition techniques. Their 
application is challenging due to the large volumes of data and 
background information, noisy measurements and target outputs, highly 
diverse data types etc.

The Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics conference series aims to 
bring together  researchers, practitioners and students from around the 
world to present and discuss recent developments and applications of 
pattern recognition methods in current bioinformatics, computational 
biology and systems biology. Authors are invited to submit full papers 
in relevant research areas, which include but are not limited to:

·     Bio-sequence analysis
·     Gene and protein expression analysis
·     Biomarker discovery
·     Protein structure and interaction prediction
·     Motifs and signal detection
·     Metabolic modelling and analysis
·     Systems and synthetic biology
·     Pathway and network analysis
·     Immuno- and chemo-informatics
·     Evolution and phylogeny
·     Bio-imaging
·     Biological databases, integration and visualisation

Pattern recognition techniques of interest include:

·     Statistical, syntactic and structural pattern recognition
·     Datamining and data-based modeling
·     Evolutionary computation
·     Bayesian networks and graphical models
·     Neural networks and fuzzy systems

Invited speakers

·     Yves Moreau, Bioinformatics Research Group, K.U.Leuven, Belgium.
·     Mark Girolami, Department of Statistical Science, University 
College London.
