Early-bird fees apply until April 30 (standard fees, from May 1 to May 31). To access the registration and accommodation interface, click 'Registration' on https://icqc16.sciencesconf.org/. This procedure is managed by Menton Tourist Office and will allow you to register to the congress and book your accommodation and various options together. Special deals and booking priority for 16-ICQC participants have been negociated on a wide selection of hotels in Menton. June being high season on the French Riviera, we recommend that you book your accommodation upon registering. Online registration will close on May 31. Hotel booking via this interface will close on April 17. Poster submission will open soon. Best regards and looking forward to seeing you in Menton next June, On behalf of the organizing committee, 16-ICQC 2018 From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Tue Jan 30 19:38:00 2018 From: "Jose P.

We are looking for disruptive proposals presented from a holistic perspective that really make a step forward in these fields. In this regard, one of the main aims of the workshop is discussing about the main trends in parallel processing, algorithm definition and problem-domain requirements altogether, which may anticipate future solutions to be translated into real benefits to the society. With that in mind, we are thinking on creating the right atmosphere for a discussion of research opportunities in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry from a multidisciplinary point of view within the computer science area. Additionally, proposals may rather be reflective of a broader industry trend. High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are becoming crucial to the progress of science and technology. With particular focus on (but not limited to) the chemical and pharma industry, we want to provide a forum to discuss how to translate these results into commercial uptake of new HPC technologies. The goal of BIOHPC'18 is therefore to bring together researchers from different fields of Parallel Processing, Computer Architecture, Soft Computing and Bioinformatics to provide a forum for discussing future research directions and challenges to translate academic results into real benefits for the society. In conclusion, we look for original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on multidisciplinary research that combines both Parallelism and Algorithm as applied to any possible of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry problem. TOPICS OF INTEREST In particular, contributions are solicited on, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Programming Models and Systems for Multicore, Manycore, and Clusters of Multicore/Manycore. - Parallel Stochastic Simulation. - Biological and Numerical Parallel Computing. - Parallel and Distributed Architectures. - Emerging Processing Architectures (e.g. GPUs, Intel Xeon Phi, FPGAs, mixed CPU-GPU or CPU-FPGA, etc). - Parallel Model Checking Techniques. - Parallel Algorithms for Biological Analysis. - Cluster and Grid Deployment for System Biology. - Soft Computing Algorithms in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry. - Application of HPC Developments in Structural Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Computational Chemistry. - Biological and Chemical databases for Big Data Management. - Automated Verification in Computational Biology. - System Infrastructure for High Throughput Analysis. - Biomolecular Structure Prediction and Large Molecular Systems. - Molecular Visualization of Biological Big Data. - Large Scale Proteomics. IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission: April 3, 2018 - Notification of acceptance: May 9, 2018 - Camera-ready paper: May 23, 2018 - Workshop: August 13, 2018 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions may not exceed 8 pages in PDF format including figures and references, and must be formatted in the 2-column IEEE format. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. Work in progress is welcome, but first results should be made available as a proof of concept. Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be rejected. Please visit the workshop website for additional details. EXTENDED PAPER JOURNAL VERSION The authors of the best papers from the workshop will be directly invited to submit an extended version for a special issue on the International Journal of High Performance Computing applications (IJHPCA). Notice that this special issue will be open to other works not previously submitted to the workshop, although these new papers will compete with the shepherded ones, which will have higher priority for similar quality. Moreover, the best two papers within the topic of molecular biology will be invited to submit an extended version to Bioinformatics. These papers will undergo a shepherding process in order to provide the authors with guidance for improving their work.
