Life Sciences Computing

*Submission deadline: 1 December 2013
Publication: July/August 2014*

“Life Sciences” refers to the study of life forms and their organization in
fields such as biology, medicine, and ecology. These were considered to be
separate fields from computing and traditional engineering, which rely on
scientific principles to design and manufacture products. Today, this
distinction is blurred as the life sciences become increasingly computer
enabled and as engineering principles are applied to the study of life
forms and the environment. Fields like genomics and computational biology
apply engineering principles and practices, and biomedical engineers now
create replacement parts for the human body using techniques such as 3D
scanning and printing.

To highlight the progress in this emerging area at the intersection of
computing and life sciences and examine opportunities and challenges it
presents, *IT Professional* is soliciting submissions for its July/August
2014 issue on Life Sciences Computing, an area that has recently seen
significant interest and rapid development. Submissions that focus on role
of computing and IT in life sciences are sought; topics of interest include

   - Computational biology
   - Image and signal processing
   - Genomics and proteomics
   - Healthcare IT
   - 3D-scanning and 3D-printing for biomedicine
   - Nanotechnology for biomedicine
   - Personalized medicine
   - Drug design and development
   - Next-generation sequence analysis
   - Data analytics in life sciences
   - Computational platforms and tools for life science research
   - Cloud computing services for life sciences
   - Case studies

Submissions

We also welcome multimedia features (related videos, demos, audio clips,
and so on). Feature articles should be no longer than 4,200 words (with
tables and figures each counting as 300 words) and have no more than 20
references. Illustrations are welcome. For author guidelines, see
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewmagazines/acitpro.
