17 Jan '10

Special Session on Grid Computing The above special session at the 2010 International Conference on High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS-10) (website: http://www.PromoteResearch.org) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA. HPCS is an important event in the areas of high performance computing, grid computing and related topics. The conference will be held at the same time and location where several other major international conferences will be taking place. The conference will be held as part of 2010 multi-conference (MULTICONF-10). MULTICONF-10 will be held during July 12-14, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The primary goal of MULTICONF is to promote research and developmental activities in computer science, information technology, control engineering, and related fields. Another goal is to promote the dissemination of research to a multidisciplinary audience and to facilitate communication among researchers, developers, practitioners in different fields.The following conferences are planned to be organized as part of MULTICONF-10. * International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-10) * International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-10) * International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) * International Conference on Computer Networks (CN-10) * International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-10) * International Conference on High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS-10) * International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-10) * International Conference on Image and Video Processing and Computer Vision (IVPCV-10) * International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-10) * International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-10) We invite draft paper submissions. Please see the website http://www.PromoteResearch.org for more details. Sincerely John Edward Publicity committee

CfP: Third International Workshop on "Biomedical and Bioinformatics' Challenges to Computer Science]
by Mario Cannataro 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE (ICCS 2010) http://www.iccs-meeting.org/ University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands May 31 - June 2, 2010 3rd Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges to Computer Science http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/iccs2010/ CALL FOR PAPERS Bioinformatics is providing the foundation for fast and reliable data analysis. Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epidemiological, clinical and text mining applications have made essential progress through using bioinformatics tools. Standard tools are usually offered through the Web. This is no longer sufficient with more complex analysis and simulation tasks from emerging research fields like systems biology, image analysis, biomedical applications or data management. In recent years Grid and Web services based approaches have been developed to face the new challenges.Moreover, emerging life sciences applications need to use in a coordinated way both bioinformatics tools, biological data banks, and patients clinical data, that requires seamless integration, privacy preservation and controlled sharing. This 3rd Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges to Computer Science will bring together scientists from computer and life sciences to discuss future directions of bioinformatics algorithms, applications, and data management. Questions to be looked at are whether wrapping existing algorithms as Grid or Web service will be sufficient to cope with the more complex applications and the increasing volume of data to be processed or which applications would profit from being redeveloped as native parallel or distributed application. Furthermore, the use of novel parallel architectures and dedicated hardware to implement bioinformatics and biomedical algorithms will be discussed. TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop is seeking original research papers presenting innovative solutions from parallel, distributed and Grid computing applied to bioinformatics algorithms and life sciences applications. Specifically we are interested in the following topics: - sequence and structure bioinformatics - computational proteomics - systems biology - biomedical image analysis - biomedical simulation - data management - data integration - data visualization - workflow modelling - distributed biomedical applications - high performance computing - dedicated hardware and architectures - parallelisation techniques - service orientation - volunteer computing - peer-to-peer computing PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION We invite original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of Procedia Computer Science (for formatting information see for text/latex and for MSword. Click here for a Latex template plus instructions). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. PostScript and source versions of your paper must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system. Please, note that papers must not exceed ten pages in length, when typeset using the Procedia format. Dates of deadlines for draft paper submission (full paper), notification of acceptance, deadline for camera-ready paper submission and registration may be found in the Important Dates section of the ICCS Web site. Papers must be based on unpublished, mature and original work and must be submitted to ICCS only. JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE At the end of the workshop, we plan to invite the best 4-6 papers of the workshop for a special section on an international journal. Selected papers (extended and revised version) accepted on the 1st edition of the workshop have been published on a special section of Future Generation Computer Systems, Elsevier. IMPORTANT DATES Full papers submission: December 20, 2009 Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2010 Camera ready papers: March 1, 2010 Early registration opens: February 15, 2010 Early registration closes: March 31, 2010 Conference sessions : May 31 - June 2, 2010 WORKSHOP CO-ORGANIZERS Mario Cannataro, University Magna Græcia of Catanzaro, Italy Joakim Sundnes, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Rodrigo Weber dos Santos, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil PROGRAM COMMITTEE (TO BE CONFIRMED) 1.
