======================================

*HiCOMB 2017 - *http://www.hicomb.org/
*16th IEEE International Workshop on High Performance Computational Biology*
May 29, 2017 - Buena Vista Palace Hotel, Orlando, FL, USA

In conjunction with the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed 
Processing Symposium <http://www.ipdps.org/>

========================
HiCOMB 2017 Call For Papers
========================

The size and complexity of genome- and proteome-scale data sets in 
bioinformatics continues to grow at a furious pace, and the analysis of 
these complex, noisy, data sets demands efficient algorithms and high 
performance computer architectures. Hence high-performance computing has 
become an integral part of research and development in bioinformatics, 
computational biology, and medical and health informatics. The goal of 
this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in 
developing high-performance computing solutions to data- and 
compute-intensive problems arising from all areas of computational life 
sciences. We are especially interested in parallel and distributed 
algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining 
techniques including approaches for big data and cloud computing, 
algorithms on multicores, many-cores and GPUs, and design of 
high-performance software and hardware for biological applications.

The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks 
from reputed researchers in the field.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  *      Bioinformatics data analytics
  *      Biological network analysis
  *      Cloud-enabled solutions for computational biology
  *      Computational genomics and metagenomics
  *      Computational proteomics and metaproteomics
  *      DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping
  *      Energy-aware high performance biological applications
  *      Gene identification and annotation
  *      High performance algorithms for computational systems biology
  *      High throughput, high dimensional data analysis: flow cytometry
    and related proteomic data
  *      Parallel algorithms for biological sequence analysis
  *      Molecular evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms
  *      Protein structure prediction and modeling
  *      Parallel algorithms in chemical genetics and chemical informatics
  *      Transcriptome analysis with RNASeq


=====================
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================

To submit a paper, please upload a PDF file through Easy Chair at the 
HiCOMB 2017 Submission Site. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten 
(10) single-spaced double-column pages using a 10-point size font on 
8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables,

will be reviewed. Proceedings of the workshops will be distributed at 
the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Explore 
Digital Library after the conference.
