**********************************************
LOCATION
**********************************************
Orlando, the City Beautiful, is home to world-class attractions, dining,
and entertainment. Most famously, Orlando is home to the popular Disney,
Universal Studios, and SeaWorld theme parks. In addition, Orlando is
located within driving distances from the beautiful Clear Water, Cocoa, and
New Smyrna beaches. Other lesser-known but equally entertaining and unique
attractions include GatorLand (with a zip line over live alligators!), the
Orlando Slingshot, the Starflyer swing, the Orlando Eye, and the Holy Land
Experience. With the beautiful weather of Central Florida during late fall,
any outdoor activity, beach, theme park, or otherwise, should be
comfortable and fun. Our conference venue will be the Four Points by
Sheraton <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C7_W3EtpGo> which is located on
I-Drive, a hub of fine dining, whose restaurants include Tapa Toro Tapas
Bar and Paella Pit, Tin Roof, and Yard House. Our venue is also within
close traveling distance to a myriad of other great restaurants, the
Orlando Fashion Outlets, and the Universal Studios theme park. As a popular
tourist destination, travel to and from Orlando should be easy with direct
flights offered by most major airlines.

SCOPE
**********************************************
All aspects of string processing, information retrieval, computational
biology, and related applications are covered. Typical topics of interest
include (but are not limited to):
String Processing: string pattern matching, text indexing, data structures
for string processing, text compression, compressed data structures,
compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern matching, automata
based string processing.
Information Retrieval (IR): retrieval models, indexing, evaluation,
algorithms and data structures for IR, efficient implementation of IR
systems, interface design, text classification and clustering, text
analysis and mining, collaborative and content-based filtering, topic
modeling for IR, search tasks (Web search, enterprise search, desktop
search, legal search, cross-lingual retrieval, federated search, (micro)
blog search, XML retrieval, multimedia retrieval), digital libraries.
Computational Biology: high-throughput DNA sequencing (assembly, read
alignment, read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics), evolution and phylogenetics, gene and regulatory element
recognition, motif finding, protein structure prediction.
