The 10th annual IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

The CIBCB 2013 symposium will bring together top researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to real-world problems in theoretical and applied biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. Computational Intelligence (CI) approaches include artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, hybrid approaches and other emerging techniques including but not limited to ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and support vector machines.
The use of computational intelligence must play a substantial role in submitted papers. Submissions will be peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be index in IEEE eXplore.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• molecular sequence alignment and analysis

• RNA and protein folding and structure prediction
• single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis
• motif and signal detection
• molecular evolution and phylogenetics
• gene finding
• computational proteomics
• metabolic pathway analysis
• molecular docking and drug design
• immuno- and chemo-informatics
• analysis of large biological data sets
• high-throughput data analysis (microarrays, mass spectrometry, EST, etc.)
• biological and medical ontologies
• systems and synthetic biology
• emergent properties in complex biological systems
• medical image analysis and pattern recognition
• in-silico optimization of biological systems
• ecoinformatics and appications to ecological data analysis
