OR53 Annual Conference
Bioinformatics, Systems and Synthetic Biology Stream
*Extended* deadline for abstract submission: June 13, 2011
**********************************************************
The aim of this stream is to build a bridge between the research fields of
Operational Research and Bioinformatics, Systems and Synthetic Biology. On
one hand, this stream focuses on the application of OR approaches to
biological problems, in particular to those in Bioinformatics, Systems and
Synthetic Biology. On the other hand, it also aims at showcasing to the OR
community a whole new set of possible applications and challenges for their
methods.
The scope of this stream includes (but is not limited to):
- Synthetic and Systems Biology - Modelling, simulation and optimisation of
biological systems - Data mining of biological databases - Data analysis of
the -omics universe (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) -
Computer Vision methods for the imaging of biological tissue - Sequence
analysis - Structural Bioinformatics - Text Mining and Ontologies -
Genome-wise analysis - Gene expression and signalling networks
The best contributions to the stream will be invited to submit extended
versions of their abstracts to an special issue of the Memetic Computing
journal dedicated to "Operational Research for Bioinformatics, Systems and
Synthetic Biology".
Please feel free to contact the stream organisers if you have any questions
regarding the applicability of a potential submission or any other
questions in relation to this stream.
If you would like to give a talk in this stream, please submit a title and
an extended abstract (which can be as short as half a page or up to 6
pages) via
http://www.orsoc.org.uk/orshop/orcontent.aspx?inc=or53_main.htm
and selecting 'Bioinformatics, Systems and Synthetic Biology' as stream.
