<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://algo2018.hiit.fi/wabi/">http://algo2018.hiit.fi/wabi/</a>
<h4 class="western">Scope</h4>
<p>All research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational
biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete
algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important
problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models,
that
are computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and
tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present
recent research results, including significant work-in-progress,
and
to identify and explore directions of future research.</p>
<h4 class="western">Paper Submission</h4>
<p>Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style and
must not exceed 12 pages including reference. Each paper must
contain a succinct statement of the
issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and
a
brief explanation of their significance, all accessible to
non-specialist readers. All submissions must be made online,
through
the EasyChair submission system, at:</p>

<style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style>
<p>You need to register on the EasyChair web site before submitting.
A standard PDF file must be received by midnight on May 4, 2018
(time
zone of your choice) in order for your submission to be
considered.
Simultaneous submission to another conference with published
proceedings is not permitted, but simultaneous submission to a
journal is allowed, provided that the authors notify the program
chairs; if published in a journal, such a contribution will be
published as a short abstract in the WABI proceedings. Depositing
in
arxiv.org or biorxiv.org is allowed.</p>
<p>Note, by submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case
of acceptance at least one of the authors must register at <a
href="http://algo2018.hiit.fi/">ALGO
2018</a> (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://algo2018.hiit.fi/">http://algo2018.hiit.fi/</a>) or WABI 2018, attend the
conference, and present the paper.</p>
