Call for Papers: 2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS 2013)

November 17–19, 2013 Houston, Texas

The 2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics (GENSIPS 2013) will be held in Houston during November 17-19, 2013. GENSIPS 2013 will provide a forum for signal processing researchers, bioinformaticians, computational biologists, biomedical engineers, and biostatisticians to exchange ideas and discuss the challenges confronting computational bioinformatics and systems biology communities due to the high modality of disparate high-throughput data, high variability of data acquisition, high dimensionality of biomedical data, and high complexity of genomics and proteomics. GENSIPS 2013 will feature prominent plenary speakers in biomedical research. GENSIPS 2013 will also provide best paper awards to students with outstanding technical contributions.

Papers on original research in computational biology and bioinformatics are solicited. Abstracts for poster presentation are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Deep sequencing data analysis

Methods for analyzing SNP/genotype/epigenetic data

LC/MS data analysis and proteomics

Cancer genomics and cancer drug screening

Functions of microRNA and non-coding RNAs

Differential analysis of molecular regulatory networks

Functional meta-genomics and biomolecular dynamics in microbial communities

Dynamics and control of genetic regulatory networks

Modeling of cancer evolution and intra-tumoral heterogeneity

Modeling of genetic networks and signaling pathways

Travel and best paper awards sponsored by National Science Foundation will be provided to student/post doctoral authors of papers with exceptional quality.

Paper Submission: All submitted papers (up to 4 pages) will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings that will be archived in IEEE Xplore. Authors of papers of exceptional quality will be invited to submit a journal version to a special issue of a high-quality journal.
