Call for Papers - ITBAM '12
********************************************
3rd International Conference on Information Technology in Bio- and
Medical Informatics - ITBAM 2012
Vienna, Austria
September 3 - 7, 2012
*********************************************
Data intensive disciplines, such as life sciences and medicine, are
promoting vivid research activities in the area of databases. Modern
technologies, such as high-throughput mass-spectrometry and sequencing,
micro-arrays, high-resolution imaging, etc. produce enormous and
continuously increasing amounts of data. Huge public databases provide
access to aggregated and consolidated information on genome and protein
sequences, biological pathways, diseases, anatomy atlases, and
scientific literature. There has never been more potentially available
information to study biomedical systems, ranging from single cells to
complete organisms. However, it is a non-trivial task to transform the
vast amount of biomedical data into actionable information triggering
scientific progress and supporting patient management. Major biomedical
application scenarios for research in the database community include but
are not limited to:
. Systems biology
. Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics
. Genome-wide association studies
. Drug target discovery and personalized medicine
. Neuroscience
. Electronic patient records
. Patient monitoring
. Surgery planning and support
. etc.
Various emerging database technologies for coping with the challenges of
these application scenarios have been developed and are an active area
of research in information technology:
. Administration of vast amounts of data
. Integration of heterogeneous data sources
. Federated and distributed databases
. Data warehouses
. Data mining techniques like classification, clustering, association
rule mining, etc.
. Decision support systems
. Information and image retrieval
. Signal processing and streaming databases
. Privacy protection and data security
. Data quality assurance
. Process management and collaborative work
. User interfaces and visualization
. Interoperability and standardization
. etc.
Designing database technology to support applications in life sciences
and medicine is an inspiring field of interdisciplinary research. The
path from an idea to a practical application is often long and
laborious, involving intensive interactions between experts in
information technology, life sciences and the medical field. ITBAM
accompanies and supports this path by providing an excellent venue for
the exchange of ideas, fruitful discussion, and effective interaction
among interdisciplinary researchers.
In addition to the regular conference program featuring presentations of
full and short research papers published in the proceedings, ITBAM
encourages the submission of posters reporting work in progress. All
accepted posters will be displayed during the whole event and abstracts
will also be included in the proceedings.

Paper Submission Details:
Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions or
experience reports in English. The submitted manuscript should closely
reflect the final paper as it will appear in the proceedings.
. Paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format. Poster
submissions are expected to consist of 1 page Abstract
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
. Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from
formatting requirements may be rejected without review.
. For registration and electronic submission see:
http://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/
. The submission system will be open starting from January 2011.
. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. Authors are expected to
agree to the following terms: "I understand that the paper being
submitted must not overlap substantially with any other paper that I am
a co-author of and that is currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore,
previously published papers with any overlap are cited prominently in
this submission."
Accepted Papers:
All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in
Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer Verlag. Accepted full papers will
be of 15 pages length, short papers 8 pages. Authors of accepted papers
must sign a Springer copyright release form. For further inquiries,
please contact the Conference Organisation Office (gabriela at dexa.org).
