Parallel Bio–Computing 2013‏

Parallel Bio–Computing 2013
Workshop on Parallel Computational Biology
September 8–11, 2013, Warsaw, Poland

Bioinformatics is the science of managing, mining, and extracting
knowledge from biological
data. Since the last PBC workshop in 2011 the field has witnessed two
growing paradigm shifts:
improved third generation sequencing technology and cloud computing.
Because of the flood of
digital biological data in many more institutions, application of
diverse HPC techniques to solve
bioinformatics problems has become even more crucial to the success of
the field.

The goal of this Workshop is to present the latest research in
high-performance computing applied
to bioinformatics. We are especially interested in parallel and
distributed algorithms,
memory efficient algorithms, and design of high-performance software for
clusters, grids and
clouds. Submission of articles dealing with parallelization of
applications on multi-/many-core,
massively parallel systems, accelerator architectures and large
distributed systems are specifically
encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Bioinformatics databases
*  Computational genomics and proteomics
*  DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping
*  Gene expression and microarrays
*  Gene identification and annotation
*  Molecular sequence analysis
*  Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
*  Protein structure prediction and modeling
*  Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
*  Parallel architectures for biological applications
*  System tools that support large scale high-performance bio-computing


The PBC Workshop (http://pbc.ppam.pl) will be held in conjunction with
the Tenth International
Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2013,
Warsaw, Poland,
September 8-13, 2013 (http://www.ppam.pl).

*PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION*

The workshop will consist of dedicated sessions containing selected
papers. Papers will be refereed
and accepted on the basis of their originality, scientific merit and
relevance to the Workshop
topics. Papers presented during the workshop will be included into the
proceedings of PPAM
and published after the conference by Springer–Verlag in the LNCS series.

The only allowed paper format is Springer LATEX style. To ensure
reasonable quality and consistency
of preparation, please be sure to adhere closely to the LNCS Author and
Volume Editor
Instructions. All papers should be prepared as a PDF or PS file, and
should be submitted using
the Paper Submission link. Papers should not exceed 10 pages.
