10th Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI)
September 6-8, 2010
University of Liverpool, United Kingdom
Conference website: http://algo2010.csc.liv.ac.uk/wabi/
Scope
------
All research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational
biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete
algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems
in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are
computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and tested in
simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research
results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and
explore directions of future research.
WABI will be part of ALGO 2010, hosted by the University of Liverpool
Department of Computer Science. WABI is sponsored by the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), and the
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).
Call for Papers
----------------
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the Springer LNCS style and
must not exceed 12 pages. Each paper must contain a succinct statement
of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results,
and a brief explanation of their significance, all accessible to
non-specialist readers.
All submissions must be made online, through the EasyChair submission
system within the WABI'10 submission site. You need to register on that
web site before sumitting; you may update your submission(s) up to the
last minute. A standard PDF file must be received by 23:59 (GMT) on May
11, 2010 in order for your submission to be considered. In case of
problems, authors may, by prior arrangement, email a PDF file to the
chairs, V. Moulton or M. Singh.
Simultaneous submission to another conference with published proceedings
is not permitted, but simultaneous submission to a journal is allowed,
provided that the authors notify the program chairs; if published in a
journal, such a contribution will be published as a short abstract in
the WABI proceedings.

Topics
-------
Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) or
state-of-the-art surveys are solicited in all aspects of algorithms in
bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology including, but
not limited to:
* Exact and approximate algorithms for sequence analysis, gene and
signal recognition, alignment and assembly, molecular evolution,
structure determination or prediction, gene expression, molecular
pathways and network, proteomics, functional genomics, and drug design.
* Methods, software, and dataset repositories for development and
testing of such algorithms and their underlying models, as well as
high-performance computing approaches to computationally hard learning
and optimization problems.
* Novel approaches to analyzing and modeling next-generation
sequence data, including sequence assembly, population genomics,
metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and ncRNA sequencing.
Proceedings
------------
Proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in
Bioinformatics; papers will be allotted 12 pages.
Previous proceedings of WABI appeared in LNCS/LNBI volumes 2149 (Aarhus
2001), 2452 (Rome 2002), 2812 (Budapest 2003), 3240 (Bergen 2004), 3692
(Mallorca 2005), 4175 (Zurich, 2006), 4645 (Philadelphia 2007), 5251
(Karlsruhe 2008), and 5724 (Philadelphia 2009).
By arrangement with the Editor-in-Chief, selected papers from WABI will
be invited for an extended publication in a special issue of the BMC
Algorithms for Molecular Biology.
