PRIB Pattern Recognition in Biology 2012 Event

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

Publication. Papers should be submitted electronically through the conference website . Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI).
