The International Symposium on Big Data BIOCOMPUTATION 2015 |
This symposium is part of BIOTECHNO 2015.

| Call for Papers: |
Understanding biological systems as computational devices situates at the intersection of Bio aspects and Computational aspects. BioComputation encompasses computation aspects related to living universe. The data on living universe reached a high volume (Big Data) and only a small fraction could be considered until the high computation power and large size storage became available. Cloud and GPU (Graphical Process Units) technologies allow a great level of parallelism and resource sharing, making it possible to process such large data. However, context-sensitivity, privacy, legal/regulatory aspects, as well as specific requirements for dedicated applications (healthcare, wearable/implantable devices) are concerns to still be solved. Large-scale BioComputation benefits from Big Data-oriented solutions and signs to overpass nowadays challenges are high.
BIOCOMPUTATION 2015, The International Symposium on Big Data and BioComputation, is dedicated to advances and challenges on the following topics.
Topics:
Big Data and Context-sensitive Computation
Big Data and Cloud Technology and Services in BioComputation
Big Data, Cloud computing and GPU (Graphical Process Units) for BioComputation
Scale-up and high-performance techniques for data-centric BioComputation
Big Data and Prediction Computational Models
Big Data Computation Applications
Big Data and Evolution Models
Big Data and BioStatistics
Big Data and Personalized Healthcare Computation
Big Data in Genome Analytics
Big Data and Computation on Illness Patterns/Variations (cancer, diabetes, etc.)
Big Data and Donor Information
Big Data and Drugs-related Computation
Big Data and Health/eHealth/Telemedicine Computation
Big Data and Computation in Clinical Context
Big Data and BioImage Computation
Big Data and Molecular Modeling
Big Data and Computational Physics
Big Data and Biological Systems
Big Data and Scalability of BioComputation Tools
Big Data and Trusted Bio-Datasets
Big Data BioComputation and Regulator Borders

Details on contributions and proposals.
FORMATS
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received submissions will be acknowledged via an automated system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11", not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here. Latex templates are also available.
Slides-based contributions can use the corporate/university format and style.
Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.
Once you receive the notification of contribution acceptance, you will be provided by the publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
We would recommend that you should not use too many extra pages, even if you can afford the extra fees. No more than 2 contributions per event are recommended, as each contribution must be separately registered and paid for. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to ensure that the paper will be included in the conference proceedings and in the digital library, or posted on the www.iaria.org (for slide-based contributions).
