<pre>
BIRD'08 2nd International Conference on Bioinformatics Research and
Development
Technical University of Vienna, Austria
July 7-9, 2008
<a href="http://www.birdconf.org" target="_blank">http://www.birdconf.org</a>

Scope of the conference:

The primary focus of BIRD '08 is to provide researchers and users in
the field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new
research directions, developments, and software/web services.

It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical
problems by computer science, machine learning, or information
processing tools. The conceptual level of the methods range from
theoretical approaches through the design of algorithms, models, and
information processing systems through to the development of software
packages and web services.

The program committee seeks contributions, which topics include, but
are not limited to:

    * Algebraic Biology
    * Databases & Data Integration
    * Drug Design
    * Ontologies & Textmining
    * Evolution and Phylogenetics
    * Genomics
    * Gene and Splice Site Recognition
    * Machine learning and data analysis
    * Gene Expression/regulation & Microarrays
    * MicroRNA and RNAi
    * Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment Support
    * Molecular Dynamics
    * Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology
    * Phylogenetics & Molecular Evolution
    * Protein & RNA Structure and Function
    * Proteomics
    * Sequence Analysis & Alignment
    * SNPs and Haplotyping
    * System Biology and Modelling



Paper Submission Details:

    * Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or
experience reports in English.

    * The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper
as it will appear in the proceedings of BIRD08.

    * Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNBI-format.

    * Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from
formatting requirements may be rejected without review.

All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in
Bioinformatics" (LNBI) by Springer Verlag.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Authors are requested to submit their contribution electronically
before January 31, 2008. Paper submission site will be online in December.

Important Dates:

    * Submission of Full Papers: January 31, 2008
    * Notification of Acceptance: March 15, 2008
    * Camera-ready Copies: April 15, 2008
