CIBB 2023: Special session on Distributed computing in bioinformatics and
computational biology
Call for papers
September 6-7, 2023, Padua, Italy

Website: https://cibb2023.dei.unipd.it/call-for-special.html


Distributed computing systems have become pivotal in the analysis of
bioinformatics data, especially for the investigation of complex biological
problems that require intense computational workloads. The usage of
distributed computing systems like Apache Spark, in fact, might allow
scientific discoveries on bioinformatics data that otherwise would be
impossible if the analyses were performed on personal computers.
Our special session on "Distributed computing in bioinformatics and
computational biology" aims at calling for researchers able to show the
potential and the advance of distributed computing resources to make
accurate computational analyses in biological datasets.
With this special session, we would like to gather scientific contributions
aimed at optimizing the usage of distributed computing systems and
resources in any bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics context. The
results presented in these studies would be useful and helpful both for the
distributed computing experts and for inexperienced users approaching this
subject for the first time.
