CSBio 2020 : The 11th International Conference on Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics
Bangkok, Thailand, November 19-21, 2020
http://www.csbio.org/2020/
Important Dates
=============
Regular paper submission deadline: July 1, 2020
Notification of acceptance: September 1, 2020
Camera-ready paper and early-bird registration: October 1, 2020
Aims and Scope
============
With the advancement in next-generation molecular technology in generating the high-throughput “omics” data, life science has come to the era of “big data”. To extract biological knowledge from the data and translate it into benefits for society (e.g. better medicine and healthcare), novel and advanced computational tools are needed for data analysis. The current trends are to leverage AI and application of cognitive computing that combines domain knowledge with machine learning.
The call for paper targets contribution in the field of computational approaches designed to face the challenges aroused by biological systems. It aims at giving an overview of the cutting-edge methods and tools to address biological systems. A Special Session on COVID-19 Health, Analytics, and Technologies (CHAT-2020) will provide an opportunity for global research linkages and experience sharing.
CSBio 2020 would like to invite researchers and industrial counterparts to meet at this event to exchange ideas and stimulate research collaborations.

Paper Submission
==============
The CSBio 2020 online submission system is opened at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbio2020).
Submitted papers should describe original work that does not overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the ACM SIG style (sigconf template). Full papers needs to be at least 5 pages and should not exceed 10 pages and must be submitted via EasyChair system. Short papers of up to 4 pages may be considered as well as extended abstracts of up to 2 pages. More information about the formatting of the paper can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html/Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair. The limit for submissions is 8 pages. References and appendices will not be counted in the page limit during the initial submission process.
Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via EasyChair. The limit for initial submission is 8 pages. References and appendices will not be counted in the page limit during the initial submission process.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and subjected to single-blind review process by at least two reviewers; full submissions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference, either in person or remotely. All submissions will be checked for originality.
