This new si= tuation demands appropriate IT-infrastructures and scalable software to ana= lyse data within an acceptable timespan. Massive parallel clusters, distrib= uted technologies, on-Chip solutions such as GPGPU and Xeon Phi must be exp= loited with adequate algorithmic solutions to reach their full potential. The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers interested= in cutting-edge methods to address the challenges posed by the huge amount= of data produced in omics sciences and in application to systems and synth= etic biology. The track aims to present latest advancements concerning High= Performance Computing solutions required to treat multi-omics Bid Data and= to support the various Large-Scale challenges of current computational bio= logy. Relevant topics within this context include all the field of Next-Generatio= n Sequencing data analysis and interpretation, Genomics patterns identifica= tion and mining, Transcriptomics and Proteomics data integration, Systems B= iology models simulation and optimization, Structural Biology and Molecular= Dynamics, Synthetic Biology circuits design and simulation.

Scientific background 2. Material and methods 3. Results 4. Conclusion 5. References (no more than 10) These papers should be submitted in PDF format on the Easy Chair conference= system (it is necessary to select this special session in the submission s= ystem). A second submission after the conference, in an extended version, is requir= ed to be considered for publication in the Springer=E2=80=99s Lecture Notes= in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGW= ID=3D0-164-6-73658-0). Moreover, as it has been the case in previous CIBB c= onferences, we are planning to publish the best papers of CIBB 2015 in an e= xtended form in a special issue of an international scientific journal, inc= luding special session papers.

Before that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CNR, Italy (20= 09-2010) in the Applied Formal Methods group, and at the Computer Science D= epartment of the University of Pisa (2003-2008), where he received his Ph.D= . (2003) in Computer Science. His main research interests are centred in th= e formal description of interaction in computing with application for Syste= ms Biology and Crowd Dynamics. His main research interests regard the forma= l description of interaction in computational systems and theories and tool= s for reasoning about such descriptions. This stream of research spawns for= m Theoretical Computer Science, Concurrency Theory and, more recently, Syst= ems Biology. Web: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~abb/ Dr. Ivan Merelli is currently research fellow at the Institute for Biomedic= al Technologies (ITB) of the National Research Council (CNR) in the Bioinfo= rmatics Division. He received his Master of Science in Biomedical Engineeri= ng from the Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis about molecular surface mo= delling and analysis. In February 2009 he received a PhD in Computer Scienc= e from the university of Milano - Bicocca with a research project about sur= face matching for macromolecular docking and functional annotation. His res= earch activities concern the development of software for sequence based gen= omics and for structural proteomics research, with particular interest in p= rotein-protein interactions. He works actively on the implementation of hig= h performance bioinformatics software using cluster infrastructures and gri= d distributed platforms. He has been involved in the development of databas= es and computational solutions for projects of Integrative System Biology, = gene expression analyses and drug discovery.

He received a PhD = in Mathematics defending a thesis on projection techniques for parallel spa= rse linear algebra and an Ms in Applied Mathematics. His postdoctoral train= ing from National Research Council focused on low cost high performance arc= hitectures for scientific computing. He has been collaborating with Center = for Applied Optimization at University of Florida since 2005. He has taught= various undergraduate courses in both computer science and mathematics. Hi= s research interests include machine learning methods for computational bio= logy and planning and development of high performance computational compone= nts for parallel and distributed problem solving environments. He is author= of publications in the field of high performance scientific computing, com= putational biology and machine learning. Web: http://www.na.icar.cnr.it/~mariog/ =20 =20=
