- Software tools and applications
- Structural biology

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION
Please submit extended abstracts (up to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format) via the online submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isbra2015). Submission implies willingness of at least one author to register and present at the symposium. The authors should choose one of the following tracks:
Track 1: Publication of the extended abstract in the Springer LNBI proceedings and invitation to submit a 30-50%-extended version to ISBRA’15 special issues of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics or International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications.
Track 2: Publication of an abridged two-page abstract in the Springer LNBI proceedings and invitation to submit a full-length paper to ISBRA’15 special issues of BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Genomics.
