[AISWorld] IEEE BIBM 2016 Call for Workshop Proposals

[CFP 2015conference]

Call for Workshop Proposals

2016 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
https://cci.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm2016/index.html
December 15-18, 2016, Shenzhen, China
=================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2016 IEEE International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2016) 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,  Biomedicine and Healthcare Informatics.  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 three 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, wireless sensor
networks, patient health records, medical signal processing; 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, emerging technology in
healthcare, aging research etc.  Prospective workshop organizers are
encouraged to contact workshop chairs for feedback.
Important Dates
May 1, 2016: Workshop proposal submission due:
             a proposed workshop announcement is  sent by e-mail to any of
the  Workshop Chairs
May 10, 2016: Notification to workshop proposers
June 25, 2016: Each workshop organizer sends out Call for Workshops Papers
