=== Scope ===

The main goal of the CIBB international conference is to provide a 
multi-disciplinary forum open to researchers interested in the 
application of computational intelligence, in a broad sense, to open 
problems in bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and synthetic biology 
and medical informatics. Cutting edge methodologies capable of 
accelerating life science discoveries will be discussed.

Following its tradition and roots, this year's meeting will bring 
together researchers from the international scientific community 
interested in advancements and future perspectives in bioinformatics and 
biostatistics. Also, looking at current trends and future opportunities 
at the edge of computer and life sciences, the application of 
computational intelligence to system and synthetic biology, and the 
consequent impact on innovative medicine will be of great interest for 
the conference. Theoretical and experimental biologists are also invited 
to participate in order to present novel challenges and foster 
multidisciplinary collaboration.

The scientific program of CIBB 2017 will include Keynote Speakers, 
tutorials and special sessions. Contributed papers will be presented in 
plenary oral sessions, special sessions, or poster sessions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Next generation sequencing bioalgorithms

- Multi-omics data analysis

- High dimensional statistical analysis of omics data

- Algorithms for alternative splicing analysis

- Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis

- Methods for the visualization of high dimensional complex omic data

- Software tools for bioinformatics

- Methods for comparative genomics

- Methods for functional classification of genes

- Methods for unsupervised analysis, validation and visualization of 
structures discovered in bio-molecular data

- Health-Informatics and Medical Informatics

- Methods for the integration of clinical and genetic data

- Heterogeneous data integration and data fusion for diagnostics

- Algorithms for pharmacogenomics

- Biomedical text mining and imaging

- Methods for diagnosis and prognosis within personalized medicine

- Statistical methods for the analysis of clinical data

- Prediction of secondary and tertiary protein structures

- Mass spectrometry data analysis in proteomics

- Algorithms for molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis

- Bio-molecular databases and data mining

- Mathematical modeling and automated reasoning on biological and 
synthetic systems

- Computational simulation of biological systems

- Methods and advances in systems biology

- Spatio-temporal analysis of synthetic and biological systems

- Network systems biology

- Models for cell populations and tissues

- Methods for the engineering of synthetic components

- Modelling and engineering of interacting synthetic and biological systems

- Software tools for bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and 
synthetic biology

=== Publication ===

Pdf versions of accepted papers will be distributed at the conference. 
At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register and 
present their paper at the conference.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
of their work to a post-conference monograph.

We plan to invite all papers for a volume in the Springer series of 
Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI).

Continuing the tradition of CIBB, we are also planning to invite the 
best papers, as an alternative to the publication on LNBI, to a special 
issue of an international scientific journal (such as BMC 
Bioinformatics, as in the latest editions).

=== Submission guidelines ===

Authors should submit papers prepared according to the following 
instructions:

- Papers should be submitted in PDF format (this is the only accepted 
format)

- Papers length should be at least 4 pages and should not exceed 6 pages

- We warmly recommend the use of the providedlatex template and 
instructions <http://cibb2017.unica.it/cibb2017-sample-v.1.3.zip>. 
Should this not be possible, authors should reproduce the format and 
style of the sample paper available with the latex style.

- Papers should be submitted in PDF format on the Easy Chair conference 
system at thislink <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibb2017>.

=== Tutorials and Special Sessions ===

CIBB 2017 will run a number of Tutorials and Special Sessions. Any topic 
of interest for the conference is eligible for a tutorial. Tutorials 
typically last from one to three hours. Special sessions focus on a 
specific, possibly cutting-edge, topic of interest for CIBB 2017. 
Special session organisers will be responsible for call dissemination, 
the reviewing process and organizing oral presentations. Typically, a 
special session will have at least 4 accepted papers and may have an 
invited speaker (to be negotiated).

Tutorial proposals, including title, a one page long abstract, and short 
CV of presenters, are due by March 25th, 2017. Please send proposals to 
cibb2017 at gmail.com <mailto:cibb2017 at gmail.com>.

Special Session proposals, including the session's title and scope, 
short CV of sessions chairs, preliminary list of at least 4, possibly 
more, potential authors are due by March 25th 2017. Proposals of special 
sessions will be evaluated as soon as they are submitted. A special 
session is expected to have at least 4 accepted papers. Please send 
proposals to <mailto:cibb2017 at gmail.com>cibb2017 at gmail.com
