Call for Papers
The 7th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2016 is the conference's seventh year, building upon the success of the first six meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, Orlando, Washington DC, Newport Beach, and Atlanta. ACM-BCB 2016 will be held in Seattle, WA, October 2-5, 2016.The conference is the premier dissemination forum for interdisciplinary research linking computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, and health informatics. The past few decades have seen tremendous growth in the scale and complexity of biological and medical data including recent mainstream recognition of big data challenges. This conference serves to showcase leading-edge research on new technologies and techniques around gathering, processing, analyzing, and modeling of data and information for a variety of scientific, clinical, and healthcare applications, from bench to bedside.
ACM-BCB 2016 welcomes original submissions that have not been published or under review. Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Behavioral, Environmental, and Public Health Informatics
- Biological Network Modeling and Analysis
- Biomedical Imaging and Data Visualization
- Clinical and Health Decision Support Systems
- Computational Systems Biology
- Epigenomics, Gene Regulation and Transcription
- Genome and Sequence Analysis
- Healthcare Data Quality Control, Privacy, and Security
- Microbiomics and Metagenomics
- Mobile Health and Sensor Networks
- Population, Evolution, and Comparative Genomics
- Predictive Modeling and Analytics in Healthcare
- Protein and RNA Structure and Function
- Proteomics and Metabolomics
- Text Mining of Biomedical Literature and Clinical Notes
- Translational Bioinformatics
Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 10 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. ACM-BCB's technical program committee will review all submissions on the basis of their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and relevance to the conference attendees. All accepted papers of registered authors will be included in the proceedings published by ACM Digital Library.
The authors of selected papers will be invited to adapt their papers for being published in a special issue of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB), or a special issue of IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI).
