20th Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics
Online, September 7-9 2020
http://algo2020.di.unipi.it/WABI2020
Deadline extended to May 18!
The conference will be held entirely online.
Scope
WABI is an international Conference covering 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 provide evidence of their potential
usefulness in practice, preferably by testing on appropriately chosen simulated
or real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including
significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future
research.
COVID-19 Arrangements for ALGO 2020
The Organization Committee (OC) of ALGO 2020 is aware of the pandemic situation
for the COVID-19 outbreak. The OC is preparing to run ALGO 2020 conferences in
a virtual way. Meanwhile, the scientific activity of the Programme Committees
of the ALGO conferences has not been suspended or stopped: peer review,
accepted papers, camera ready and proceedings will be accomplished as usual.
Paper Submission
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style and must not
exceed 15 pages excluding references. For details please see the information
for authors. 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, at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wabi2020
For scientific information, please contact one of the WABI program committee
co-chairs, Nadia Pisanti (pisanti@di.unipi.it) or Carl Kingsford
(carlk@cs.cmu.edu). For organizational information, please refer to the ALGO
2020 website.
You will need to register on the EasyChair web site before submitting. A
standard .pdf file must be received by May 18, 2020 (time zone of your choice)
in order for your submission to be considered. 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. Depositing in
arxiv.org or biorxiv.org is allowed.
By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance, in
order to have the paper included in the conference proceedings, at least one of
the authors must register at ALGO 2020 or WABI 2020, attend the conference, and
present the paper.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in WABI proceedings in the LIPIcs Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics.
Selected papers will be invited for an extended publication in a thematic
series in Algorithms for Molecular Biology (AMB).
