The researchers in this area are producing vast quantities of data daily from sources such as clinical trials, statistics, population genetics, imaging, gene sequencing, gene expression analysis, and protein identification projects. These data enable the creation of enormous digital libraries. This data is unique in the sense that it combines enormity with fine granularity. The rate of accumulation of this data has far exceeded our capacity to analyze it and discover novel and significant knowledge embedded in it using non-automated means. This has led to the evolution of a new-fangled area of multi-disciplinary research, termed Bioinformatics, defined as the science of storing, extracting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting and utilizing information from biological sequences and molecules. Biomedical Informatics deals with algorithms and routines that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving information technology research in biomedical sciences and related disciplines. This track focuses on the techniques and methodologies which give rise to design and development of information technology routines for applications in Bioinformatics and/or Biomedical Informatics. The topics include, but are not limited to the following: Bioinformatics: - Algorithms for Microarray Analysis - Computational Protein Structure prediction and Analysis - Data Mining for Bioinformatics applications - Functional Genomics - High Performance Computing - Machine learning - Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology - Pattern Recognition and Sequence Alignment - Regulatory Networks - String and graph algorithms for Bioinformatics Biomedical Computing: - Mining biomedical databases - Heterogeneous Data Integration - Storage and access structures for biomedical data - Biological and biomedical data modeling - Information Retrieval from Biomedical data Sources - Scientific Visualization - Automated text categorization and authority determination - Mining techniques for emerging imaging types Publication All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance and clarity. Authors should submit original, unpublished papers containing contributions of theoretical or experimental nature. Papers will be published in ITCC 2004 Conference Proceedings. Selected papers will be considered for Journal publication. Submit your papers (up to 8 pages, in the IEEE Proceedings format) electronically through http://www.softconf.com/start/ITCC2004/submit.html The accepted electronic formats are PS, PDF and MS WORD. Information on the final manuscript submission will be provided later.
