Call for Papers
The rapid development of bioinformatics techniques
is leading to innovations in various fields in computer science including
data mining, information retrieve, and database management, among others.
A fundamental issue presented in bioinformatics research is how to make
effective use of the enormous amount of biological and biomedical data
to improve the understanding of biological systems. Such data include
but not limited to the gene expression profiles from Microarray experiments,
protein sequences and structures from high-throughput sequence and structure
determination methods, protein-protein interactions from proteomic study,
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms from SNP arrays, and bibliographic information
from electronic medical journals. The ability to automatically and effectively
extract, understand, integrate, and make use of information embedded in
such heterogeneous semi-structured or unstructured data characterizes
the state of the bioinformatics field. The 2nd CIKM workshop
of Data and Text Mining Methods in Bioinformatics (DTMbio) will provide
a forum for investigators to present the latest data mining research
in bioinformatics research. We encourage papers that propose novel data
mining techniques for tasks such as:
- Gene sequence annotation
- Protein/RNA structure prediction
- Gene expression analysis
- Sequence and structural motifs
- Prediction of protein-protein interaction
- Modeling and analysis of biological networks
- Genetic marker identification
- Biomedical literature mining
- Drug design
- Biological database management
Paper should be single-spaced, in font size 10 or larger with one-inch
margin on all sides and restricted to at most 10 pages long. See the
workshop website http://people.eecs.ku.edu/~jhuan/DTMbio
for information about web submission and workshop program.
