Call For Papers
===============
In modern biology, high-throughput measurement devices allow scientists to
gather data at unprecedented rates. To make sense of this data, computational
biologists and system biologists construct quantitative models, many of which
depend on pattern recognition techniques. Their application is challenging
due to the large volumes of data and background information, noisy measurements
and target outputs, highly diverse data types etc.
The Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics conference series aims to bring
together researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to
present and discuss recent developments and applications of pattern recognition
methods in current bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology.
Authors are invited to submit full papers in relevant research areas, which
include but are not limited to:
- Bio-sequence analysis
- Gene and protein expression analysis
- Biomarker discovery
- Protein structure and interaction prediction
- Motifs and signal detection
- Metabolic modeling and analysis
- Systems and synthetic biology
- Pathway and network analysis
- Immuno- and chemo-informatics
- Evolution and phylogeny
- Bio-imaging
- Biological databases, integration, and visualization

Pattern recognition techniques of interest include:
- Statistical, syntactic, and structural pattern recognition
- Data mining and machine learning
- Evolutionary computation
- Bayesian networks and graphical models
- Neural networks and fuzzy systems
