CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS CI-BIO 2007
New deadline: 15 May 2007

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks 2007

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
APPROACHES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF BIOINFORMATICS DATA
                             CI-BIO 2007

                 http://ci-bio2007.disi.unige.it/
                      August 17th, 2007
Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld, Florida, USA
SPONSORED BY THE INNS BIOINFORMATICS SIG

SCOPE & TOPICS
Bioinformatics is a fast growing scientific area aimed at managing, analyzing
and interpreting information from biological data, sequences and structures.
In the past few years, many Computational Intelligence approaches have been
successfully applied to the solution of complex problems typical of this
field, including signal and image processing, clustering, feature selection,
data visualization, and data mining.

CI-BIO 2007 will present surveys and contributed papers covering different
areas where neural, fuzzy, and genetic approaches have been successfully
applied to the analysis of Bioinformatics data.

CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORKSHOP
We request two kinds of contributions:
* surveys papers giving overviews of innovative Computational Intelligence
approaches to a specific Bioinformatics area
 * standard papers presenting  new results not already presented at the IJCNN
2007.

Standard papers accepted as oral will be presented in a slot of 15-20 min,
while survey papers will have a slot of 30-60 min for oral presentation
(details will be communicated to the authors by the end of June).
Submission of Contributions
Extended abstracts submission for the Workshop Notes
Extended abstracts no longer than 2 pages must be prepared in Latex following
the same style of IJCNN 2007 papers (IEEEtran.cls and a sample tex file are
available here).
By 15 May 2007 the authors must submit the  PDF file with an email to
ci-bio2007 at disi.unige.it

In the email they must specify:
(1) Paper title;
(2) Survey/Standard paper
(3) Keywords;
(4) Authors names and affiliations;
(5) Corresponding author's name and contact details, including telephone/fax
numbers and e-mail address.

ON-LINE PAPER PUBLICATION
The authors of accepted abstracts must prepare the final paper in Latex
following the same style of IJCNN 2007 papers (IEEEtran.cls and a sample tex
file are available here).
Papers must be submitted by 15 June 2007 in PDF format with an email to
ci-bio2007 at disi.unige.it
The  papers will be published on-line on this web site.

POST-WORKSHOP PUBLICATION
We are making agreements with the editor of an international scientific
journal in order to publish a special journal issue including extended
versions of a selection of papers presented at CI-BIO workshop.

IMPORTANT DATES
Extended abstract submission (new deadline): 15 May 2007
Notification of acceptance:     22 May 2007
Accepted papers due:    15 June 2007
