[BiO BB] CFP: 12th International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics (BIOKDD '13)

[Gaurav Pandey]

Dear Colleagues,

We welcome your excellent submissions to the BIOKDD 2013 workshop to be
held in Chicago, IL along with ACM SIGKDD 2013.

Link: http://home.biokdd.org/biokdd13/

The goal of this workshop is to encourage data mining and other researchers
to take on the numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. This year,
the workshop will feature the theme of*Building network and predictive
models of biological processes and diseases using complex data*. This field
focuses on the use of computational approaches, especially from data mining
and machine learning, and the large amount and variety of biological data
being generated. The goal here is to build accurate predictive or
descriptive network models of biological processes and diseases. These
approaches have revolutionized the new age biology by enabling novel
discoveries in basic biology and diseases like cancer and diabetes, as well
as the development of therapeutics.

We encourage papers that propose novel data mining techniques for areas
including but not limited to:

   - Building predictive models for complex phenotypes from large-scale
   biological data
   - Discovering biological networks and pathways underlying biological
   processes and diseases
   - Processing of new/next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for genome
   structural variation analysis, discovery of biomarkers and mutations, and
   disease risk assessment
   - Discovery of genotype-phenotype associations
   - Novel methods and frameworks for mining and integrating big biological
   data
   - Comparative genomics
   - Metagenome analysis using sequencing data
   - RNA-seq and microarray-based gene expression analysis
   - Genome-wide analysis of non-coding RNAs
   - Genome-wide regulatory motif discovery
   - Structural bioinformatics
   - Correlating NGS with proteomics data analysis
   - Functional annotation of genes and proteins
   - Chemo-informatics: Drug discovery, Virtual screening and Combinatorial
   chemistry
   - Knowledge discovery in clinical data and electronic medical records
   - Special biological data management techniques
   - Information visualization techniques for biological data
   - Semantic webs and ontology-driven biological data integration methods
   - Privacy and security issues in mining genomic and health databases

Papers should be at most 10 pages long, single-spaced, in font size 10 or
larger with one-inch margins on all sides.  Paper should be submitted in
PDF format through CMT at the following link:
