IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (IEEE CIBCB 2013)
CIBCB 2013 is the 10th annual IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The symposium brings together top researchers from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of computational intelligence and its application to real-world problems in theoretical and applied biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. Computational Intelligence (CI) approaches include artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, hybrid approaches and other emerging techniques including but not limited to ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and support vector machines.
The final technical program consists of 35 oral papers and 9 posters selected from 69 submissions. There will be 7 contributed sessions and 3 keynote lectures delivered by Dr. Vladimir Brusic, Dr. Paulo Lisboa, and Dr. Hong Yan. This brings us to the focus of this conference - to explore complex biological systems and to employ the expertise of computer engineering in designing effective methodologies for genome-wide study. Also, the conference features a lively and informative forum for scientists and researchers to exchange ideas, and this can even be an excellent opportunity for international collaboration.
I also deeply thank the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society’s Bioinformatics and Bioengineering Technical Committee (BBTC) for their support of this conference over the years and particularly in 2013. The BBTC has provided members of the organizing committee and the technical review panel. I am grateful to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society for their overall sponsorship of this event.
