Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, a volume in the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series. In addition, authors of selected papers will be invited, but not required, to submit a significantly extended version of their papers to Algorithms for Molecular Biology. Extended papers submitted will be handled by the Program Committee co-chairs. Authors who choose to publish their extended manuscripts will have to pay the journal's publication fees.
Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts in PDF format according to the LNBI series guidelines: http://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
