Call for Workshop Proposals 
 
2014 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine 
http://scm.ulster.ac.uk/~bibm/2014/index.html
November 2-5, 2014, Belfast, UK 
=================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2014) invite proposals for Workshops. Selected workshops will hold a central position within the larger Conference, which will bring together top academic and industrial researchers from all over the world to exchange cutting edge research ideas in bioinformatics and biomedicine. Within these fields, workshops at BIBM form crucial focal points for emerging communities and forums for the examination of new ideas.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and breadth of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, made available at the Conference. 
 
The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops should cover at least a single session (6 regular papers). The workshop organizers should ensure registration and presence of authors of accepted papers. 
 
Workshop Topics 
Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine. The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in these two fields. Workshop topics may be narrow, e.g., “reverse-engineering” of gene regulatory networks from experimental data, computational approaches to drug discovery, mathematical modeling of signaling pathways, analysis of the next-generation sequencing data, oscillations and synchronization of biological rhythms; or broad, e.g., computational proteomics, in-silico diagnosis and prognosis, data mining and machine learning algorithms for biomedical applications, application of network research to biology etc. Prospective workshop organizers are encouraged to contact workshop chairs for feedback. 
Important Dates 
May 1, 2014: Workshop proposal submission due: 
 a proposed workshop announcement is sent by e-mail to any of the Workshop Chairs
May 20, 2014: Notification to workshop proposers 
June 25, 2014: Each workshop organizer sends out Call for Workshops Papers
