Authors are invited to submit papers that demonstrate original unpublished research in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Surveys of important recent research results and directions are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Biomedical databases and data integration * Biomedical image processing * Bio-ontologies * Comparative genomics * Computational genetic epidemiology * Computational proteomics * Data mining and visualization * Gene expression analysis * Genome analysis * High-performance bio-computing * Molecular evolution and phylogenetics * Molecular modeling and simulation * Pattern discovery and classification * Population genetics * RNA and protein structure prediction * Sequence assembly * Software tools and applications * Systems biology SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ISBRA proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series. Papers must be submitted electronically by following the instructions at http://www.easychair.org/ISBRA08 . Submissions must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages in length. Simultaneous submission to journals or other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. As in previous years, it is anticipated that a special issue of a major bioinformatics journal will be devoted to extended versions of best symposium papers. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline December 21, 2007 Notification of acceptance January 25, 2008 Final Version Submission February 15, 2008 LOCATION ISBRA 2008 will be held at Georgia State University in Atlanta. Atlanta's major attractions--Centennial Olympic Park, Underground Atlanta, CNN Center, the World of Coca-Cola, and the Georgia Aquarium (the largest in the world)--can all be reached by a ten-minute walk from the GSU campus.

The data could either be rich or poor in the number of samples in a wide variety of experimental design setups. Aforementioned factors led to a need to develop suitable statistical procedures for optimal analysis, visualization and interpretation of the data. We are soliciting original research papers (including significant works in progress) involving gene expression analysis, including the following: A. Novel supervised and unsupervised analysis and visualization methodologies B. Novel experimental designs, problems and suitable procedures to solve them C. Optimal feature selection for tumor classification and patient-outcome prediction D. Integrative analysis of gene expression data obtained from different platforms and laboratories E. Interpretation of gene expression data with other datasets such as ChIP-chip data and proteomics data. F. Significance assessment of predictions SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION The workshop proceedings will be published along with the ISBRA proceedings in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series. Papers must be submitted electronically by following the instructions at: http://www.cs.gsu.edu/isbra08/papers.html Submissions must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages in length. Simultaneous submission to journals or other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Further, it is anticipated that a special issue of a major bioinformatics journal will be devoted to extended versions of best conference and workshop papers.
