CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on
Biological Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (BIOKDD'11)
Held in parallel with
22nd International Conference on Database and
Expert Systems Applications (DEXA’11)
www.dexa.org
Toulouse, France
August 29 - September 2, 2011
With the development of Molecular Biology during the last decades, we are
witnessing an exponential growth of both the volume and the complexity of
biological data. For example, the Human Genome Project provided the sequence of
the 3 billion DNA bases that constitute the human genome. And, consequently, we
are provided too with the sequences of about 100,000 proteins. Therefore, we
are entering the post-genomic era: after having focused so many efforts on the
accumulation of data, we have now to focus as much effort, and even more, on
the analysis of these data. Analyzing this huge volume of data is a challenging
task because, not only, of its complexity and its multiple and numerous
correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution of our
understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of biological
data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very limited amount of
information, compared to the numerous and
complex biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to use
computer tools and develop new in silico high performance approaches to support
us in the analysis of biological data and, hence, to help us in our
understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand, structures
and functional patterns of biological sequences and, on the other hand, genetic
and biochemical mechanisms. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) are a
response to these new trends.
Topics of BIOKDD'11 workshop include, but not limited to:
Data Preprocessing: Biological Data Storage, Representation and Management
(data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks and
pathways, …), Biological Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant data removal,
completion of missing data, …), Feature Extraction (motifs, subgraphs, …),
Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid approaches,
embedded approaches, …)
Data Mining: Biological Data Regression (regression of biological sequences…),
Biological data clustering/biclustering (microarray data biclustering,
clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, …), Biological Data
Classification (classification of biological sequences…), Association Rules
Learning from Biological Data, Text mining and Application to Biological
Sequences, Web mining and Application to Biological Data, Parallel, Cloud and
Grid Computing for Biological Data Mining
Data Postprocessing: Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering, Biological
Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization, Biological Nuggets of
Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the classification error rate, evaluation
of the association rules via numerical indicators, e.g. measurements of
interest, … ), Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Integration
