The International Symposium on Biocomputing, in cooperation with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), invites researchers from computer science, life science and statistics areas to a common platform for exchanging ideas/hypotheses, to promote future collaborations towards the development of improved and highly efficient bioinformatics tools. The symposium is also expected to witness the initiation of multidisciplinary interactions which will eventually blur the boundaries between in vivo, in vitro and in silico analytical procedures and thus help to gain deeper understanding of macromolecular interactions which ultimately define any biological system.

Papers
Original, unpublished papers are invited in the following research areas, but not restricted to:

•   Modeling Approaches and Protein Structure Prediction
•   Comparative Genomics and Phylogenetics
•   Proteomics/ Transcriptomics/ Systems Biology and Quantitative Bioanalysis
•   Systems Biology
•   Modeling/ Simulation of Drug Discovery Processes
•   Signal Processing for Biotechnology
•   Nanomachines and Biotechnology
•   Biomedical Imaging for “Omics” data

The submissions will be blind reviewed by peer groups with expertise in various focus areas. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.  Submission guidelines can be found on ISB 2010 Website (http://www.isb2010.org). Prospective papers should be submitted using the provided automated eCMS submission system: http://icarus.cs.iupui.edu/isb2010/.

Registration
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the symposium to ensure that the paper is included in the symposium proceedings. Last date for registration is 10th December 2009. Payment of registration fee covers the cost to attend the symposium, coffee breaks, working lunch, symposium reception and banquet dinner. In addition, each registrant will receive a soft copy of the symposium proceedings in CD-ROM.
