Computational intelligence is frequently exploited to devise efficient heuristics solving problems in these disciplines; however, these approaches can be computationally challenging, limiting their applicability to real-world problems. The scope of this special session is to bring together researchers involved in the development of computational intelligence methods applied to Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Systems Biology, specifically accelerated either by means of conventional architectures (e.g., computer clusters, GRID computing) or by unconventional technologies (e.g., Graphics Processing Units, Many Integrated Core coprocessors, biomimetic devices). The scope of this session includes accelerated Computational Intelligence methods applied to the fields of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Systems Biology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - analysis and visualization of large datasets - analysis and visualization of genome-wide models - biomedical model parameterization - development of synthetic biological devices - drug design - emergent properties in complex biological systems - flux balance analysis - gene expression array analysis - high-throughput data analysis - medical image analysis - medical imaging and pattern recognition - metabolic pathway analysis - mining of biomedical data - modelling, simulation and optimization of biological systems - molecular dynamics and molecular docking - molecular evolution and phylogenetics - molecular sequence alignment and analysis - optimization of biological systems - prediction and searching of molecular structure and folding - spectral analysis ************************************************************************* Important dates Paper submission: January 15, 2016 Camera ready due: April 15, 2016 Conference: 25-29 July 2016 ************************************************************************* Organizers Paolo Cazzaniga - University of Bergamo, Italy Daniel Ashlock - University of Guelph, Canada Marco S. Nobile - University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy Daniela Besozzi - University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy ************************************************************************* Submission guidelines - All papers must be submitted through the IEEE WCCI 2016 online submission system. - For papers submitted to the workshops or cross-disciplinary and CI applications special sessions track, please click on the IEEE CEC 2016 paper submission link, and in the "Main Research Topic", select the respective workshop or special session title under "Section 8. Workshops or Cross-Disciplinary and CI Applications". - Any paper submitted to the workshops or cross-disciplinary and CI applications special sessions track (if accepted and presented) will be published in one of the three conference proceedings (IJCNN, Fuzzy-IEEE or IEEE CEC) that is most appropriate to the paper. Such decision will be made by the Workshop or Special Session Organizers in consultation with the Workshop or Special Session Chair and one of the three Conference Chairs. - Only papers prepared in PDF format will be accepted. - Paper Length: Up to 8 pages, including figures, tables and references. At maximum, two additional pages are permitted with over-length page charge of US$100/page, to be paid during author registration. - Paper Formatting: double column, single spaced, #10 point Times Roman font. - Margins: Left, Right, and Bottom: 0.75" (19mm). The top margin must be 0.75" (19 mm), except for the title page where it must be 1" (25 mm). - No page numbers please. We will insert the page numbers for you. - Latex and Word templates are available here <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html> ************************************************************************* Contacts Paolo Cazzaniga, PhD University of Bergamo email: paolo.cazzaniga@unibg.it tel: +390352052933 *--------------------------------------------------------------------* * Paolo Cazzaniga, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Human and Social Sciences* * University of Bergamo* *Piazzale S.
