CFP: 2018 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CIBCB 2018)

http://www.cibcb.org/CIBCB2018/

This conference will bring together top researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to real world problems in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. Computational Intelligence (CI) approaches include artificial neural networks and machine learning techniques, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms and meta-heuristics, hybrid approaches and other emerging techniques.

Topics of interests include, but not limited to:

• gene expression array analysis
• structure prediction and folding
• molecular sequence alignment and analysis
• metabolic pathway analysis
• RNA and protein folding and structure prediction
• analysis and visualization of large biological data sets
• motif detection
• molecular evolution and phylogenetics
• systems and synthetic biology
• modelling, simulation and optimization of biological systems
• robustness and evolvability of biological networks
• emergent properties in complex biological systems
• ecoinformatics and applications to ecological data analysis
• medical imaging and pattern recognition
• medical image analysis
• biomedical data modelling and mining
• treatment optimisation
• biomedical model parameterisation
• brain computer interface
