Workshop on Computational Advances in Molecular Epidemiology (CAME 2011)
held in conjunction with the 5th IEEE International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2011)
Atlanta, GA, November 12-15, 2011
http://alan.cs.gsu.edu/CAME11/
Molecular epidemiology is an integrative scientific discipline that
considers molecular biological processes in specific epidemiological
settings. It relates molecular biological events to etiology, distribution
and prevention of disease in human populations. Over years, molecular
epidemiology has became extensively fused with mathematical and
computational science and immensely benefitted from this tight association.
The CAME workshop aims to bring together field practitioners of molecular
epidemiology, molecular evolutionists, population geneticists, medical
researchers, bioinformaticians, statisticians and computer scientists
interested in the latest developments in algorithms, mining, visualization,
modeling, simulation and other methods of computational, statistical and
mathematical analysis of genetic and molecular data in the epidemiological
context.
We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on mathematical
and computational approaches to molecular epidemiology.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Analysis of next generation sequencing data
* Analysis of mass spectrometry data
* Evaluation of quasispecies
* Phylogenetics of pathogens
* Computational support to disease surveillance
* Identification of pathogen transmission events
* Computational approaches to pathogen evolution
* Identification of novel markers of disease
* Population dynamics and drug-resistance
* Metagenomic analysis
Papers of at most 8 pages in IEEE 2-column format should be submitted
electronically at
http://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2011/bibm11/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S2
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted papers
will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and extended version
of selected papers will be invited to a special issue of In Silico Biology.
