[DMANET] ICABD2014 - Call for Participation

************************************************************
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
ALGORITHMS FOR BIG DATA
I C A B D 2 0 1 4
http://www.algorithms-for-big-data.org/
Palermo, April 7-9, 2014
************************************************************

The ICABD conference focuses on the application of mathematical theories and methods to big data, primarily collections of biological sequences such as DNA/RNA and proteomic sequences. This second meeting intends to gather international researchers from the fields of bioinformatics, computer science and mathematical as well as R&D industry fellows in order to present original papers on the algorithmic advancements in big data technology.


Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mathematical methods for sequence matching, compression, and information retrieval;
- Algorithms for sequence indexing, approximate indexing, and compressed indexing;
- In place data structures, space conscious data structures, and external memory algorithms;
- Mathematical results with applications in bioinformatics problems;
- Combinatorial aspects of biological sequences and collections;
- Algorithms and data structures for repetition discovery and motif recognition;
- Mathematical methods for fragment assembly, reads reassembly, and genome alignments;
- Mathematical methods for phylogenetic trees construction and comparison;
- Combinatorial measures of sequence similarity;


On the conference website - http://algorithms-for-big-data.org/ - you will find the list of accepted papers and more details about registration, location and trip advices.

The conference programme includes invited talks, regular paper presentations and working sessions joint with a StringMasters workshop.

The conference is organized by the Words and Automata Research Group of Palermo University, Italy, and the Algorithms and Bioinformatics Group of King's College London, UK.

Please do not esitate to contact the organizing committee at info@algorithms-for-big-data.org for any other information.

Looking forward to see you in Palermo.

Alessio Langiu, Ph.D
ICABD2014 Co-chair
