Attendees of the SCS3 are encouraged to submit an abstract for presentation as a poster or for oral presentation if their outstanding submission is selected by the SCS3 program committee. *Submission Deadline:* Friday, June 8, 2007 *Acceptance Date:* Tuesday, July 3, 2007 *SCS3 Chair*: Sarath Chandra Janga **Call for SCS3 Abstracts Submission Site: * www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=14*<http://www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=14>** The Student Council Symposium serves as a platform specifically for students to present their research in computational biology and related areas to an audience of your peers. We solicit your original and unpublished contribution for presentation at the symposium from all subfields of computational biology. *Submission Guidelines* · All poster abstracts must be submitted using the conference submission site by the abstract deadline: Friday, June 8, 2007 (you have until 11.59 p.m. in the time zone of your choice). Space for posters is limited, and while we will make every effort to accommodate all interested groups, we advise you to submit your poster well before the deadline. · Submissions will not be accepted after June 8, 2007. Posters submitted by the deadline will be notified of acceptance by Tuesday, July 3, 2007. · You must submit two versions of your abstract: a 50-word summary that will be printed in the program booklet and a 500 word abstract in PDF format that may contain up to two figures, tables or similar constructs with no more than a total of 100 words for captions. This version will be posted on the symposium web site. Abstracts may cover material in any area of computational biology. They must include original work that is unpublished or published after August 1, 2006. · There is a maximum of one SCS3 poster per presenting author. The presenting author of an SCS3 poster must be present at the symposium and be available at the poster. Any author may submit or have submitted to ISMB/ECCB 2007 tracks as well, including Paper for original work, Highlights for previously published work, PLoS and ISMB/ECCB 2007 Poster for original or previously published work presented as an abstract. · The ideal poster size should be max. 1.30 m (130 cm) high x 0.90 m (90 cm) wide. Fasteners (Velcro / double sided tape) will be provided at the site, please DO NOT bring tape, tacks or pins. · Oral presentations will be around 20 minutes in length. Detailed instructions will be communicated after the notification date. · The ISCB Student Council Symposium will not offer tables for laptop computer demos during the poster session. If you would like to demonstrate your software, you are encouraged to submit a separate application for ISMB/ECCB 2007 Demonstrations using the appropriate submission site. · All abstracts will be considered a "personal communication" to the conference attendees. Abstracts will not be published in the proceedings, but will appear in the program and on the conference website. However, the organizing committee is trying to raise sufficient funds to publish the abstracts as proceedings in an established computational biology journal. · Submitted posters will be reviewed and categorized into the following general areas: o Arrays o Bioinformatics of Health and Disease o Biophysics o Chemical and Pharmaceutical Informatics o Comparative Genomics o Databases o Ecosystems & Ecology o Evolution o Function Prediction o Genomics o Gene Prediction o Genome annotation o Interactions o Machine Learning o Multiscale Modeling o Neuroscience o Ontologies o Population Genetics and Variation o Regulation o Sequence analysis o Structural Genomics o Structure and Function Prediction o Systems Biology & Networks o Text Mining o Other - Abstracts that do not fall into the above categories may be considered as well. Poster design and guidelines for oral presentations will be posted following the notification date of*** July 3, 2007*. All questions pertaining to the ISCB Student Council Symposium should be directed to: *symposium at iscbsc.org* <symposium at iscbsc.org>. ** Call for SCS3 Abstracts Submission Site: * www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=14*<http://www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=14>** ********************************* If you would like to be removed from all future ISCB mailings please write to *admin at iscb.org*<https://webmail.sdsc.edu//0/_top?actioncompose=1&to=admin@iscb.org>with the words "unsubscribe members" in the subject line and type your name as it was registered in the ISCB members database in the body of the text.
