WABI 2021 -- Call for Papers

WABI 2021 Call for Papers 21th Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics Chicago, USA (virtual), August 2-4 2021 https://acm-bcb.org/WABI/2021/ SCOPE WABI is an international Conference covering research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that provide evidence of their potential usefulness in practice, preferably by testing on appropriately chosen simulated or real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research. PAPER SUBMISSION Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style <https://submission.dagstuhl.de/styles/download-tag/lipics/v2021.1/authors/zip> and must not exceed 15 pages excluding references. For details please see the information for authors <https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors>. Each paper must contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, all accessible to non-specialist readers. All submissions must be made online, through the EasyChair submission system, at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wabi2021 For scientific information, please contact one of the WABI program committee co-chairs, Alessandra Carbone (Alessandra.Carbone@lip6.fr) or Mohammed El-Kebir (melkebir@illinois.edu). For organizational information, please refer to the ACM-BCB 2021 <https://acm-bcb.org/> website. You will need to register on the EasyChair web site before submitting. A standard .pdf file must be received by April 16, 2021 (time zone of your choice) in order for your submission to be considered. Re-submission of already submitted papers will be possible until April 18, 2021 (time zone of your choice). Simultaneous submission to another conference with published proceedings is not permitted, but simultaneous submission to a journal is allowed, provided that the authors notify the program chairs; if published in a journal, such a contribution will be published as a short abstract in the WABI proceedings. Depositing in arxiv.org <http://arxiv.org/> or biorxiv.org <http://biorxiv.org/> is allowed. By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ACM-BCB 2021 or WABI 2021, attend the conference, and present the paper. PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published in WABI proceedings in the LIPIcs Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics <https://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/>. Selected papers will be invited for an extended publication in a thematic series in Algorithms for Molecular Biology (AMB) <http://almob.biomedcentral.com/>. Previous proceedings of WABI appeared in LNCS/LNBI volumes until 2015. As of 2016, they appeared in LIPICS volumes. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 16, 2021 Submitted papers can be updated or withdrawn until April 18, 2021 Notification of paper acceptance: May 21, 2021 Final version of accepted paper due: May 31, 2021 Conference: August 2 - 4, 2021, virtual PROGRAM COMMITTEE Tatsuya Akutsu, Kyoto University, Japan Marco Antoniotti, Universita di Milano-Bicocca, Italy Anne Bergeron, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Canada Paola Bonizzoni, Universita di Milano-Bicocca, Italy Christina Boucher, University of Florida, USA Alessandra Carbone, Sorbonne Universite, France (co-chair) Leonid Chindelevitch, Imperial College London, UK Lenore Cowen, Tufts University, USA Daniel Doerr, University of Duesseldorf, Germany Mohammed El-Kebir, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA (co-chair) Nadia El-Mabrouk, University of Montreal, Canada Anna Gambin, Warsaw University, Poland Bjarni Halldorsson, deCODE genetics and Reykjavik University, Iceland Katharina Huber, University of East Anglia, UK Carl Kingsford, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Gunnar Klau, Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf, Germany Gregory Kucherov, University of Paris Est, France Manuel Lafond, Universite de Sherbrooke, Canada Elodie Laine, Sorbonne Universite, France Yu Lin, Austrialia National University, Australia Stefano Lonardi, University of California Riverside, USA Veli Makinen, University of Helsinki, Finland Tobias Marschall, Heinrich Heine University, Germany Erin Molloy, University of Maryland College Park / UCLA, US Bernard Moret, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland Vincent Moulton, University of East Anglia, UK Francesca Nadalin, EMBL-EBI / ITT, Italy, England Mihai Pop, University of Maryland College Park, USA Teresa Przytycka, NCBI, NIH, USA William Stafford Noble, University of Washington, USA Aida Ouangraoua, Universite de Sherbrooke, Canada Ion Petre, Turku University, Finland Nadia Pisanti, University of Pisa, Italy Solon Pissis, CWI Amsterdam, the Netherlands Alberto Policriti, University of Udine, Italy Sven Rahmann, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Knut Reinert, FU Berlin, Germany Sebastien Roch, University of Wisconsin Madison, US Giovanna Rosone, University of Pisa, Italy Marie-France Sagot, INRIA Rhone-Alpes, France Alexander Schoenhuth, Bielefeld University, Germany Mingfu Shao, Penn State, US Jens Stoye, Bielefeld University, Germany Krister Swenson, CNRS & Universite de Montpellier, France Ewa Szczurek, Warsaw University, Poland Sharma Thankachan, University of Central Florida, USA Alexandru Tomescu, University of Helsinki, Finland Helene Touzet, CNRS, France Esko Ukkonen, University of Helsinki, Finland Gianluca Della Vedova, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy Tomas Vinar, Comenius University, Slovakia Prudence W.H.Wong, University of Liverpool, UK Tandy Warnow, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Simone Zaccaria, UCL Cancer Institute, UK Louxin Zhang, National University of Singapore, Singapore Xiuwei Zhang, Georgia Tech, US -- Mohammed El-Kebir<http://www.el-kebir.net> Assistant Professor 3216 Siebel Center Computer Science Department University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 217-300-7369
