Student Support for Participation in the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2016)

生物信息学和生物医学研究是我们理解复杂生物系统的基础，影响着从农业和环境科学到制药和医学科学等领域的科学和技术。这项研究需要在定量科学、生命科学及其界面的多学科研究人员团队之间进行密切合作。第十届IEEE生物信息学和生物医学国际会议（BIBM-2016）于2016年12月15日至18日在中国深圳举行（https：//cci.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm2016/index.html）。它将提供一个开放和互动的论坛，以促进生物信息学和生物医学方面的多学科和跨学科研究和教育，促进思想的交流和弥合知识差距。科学计划将涵盖基因组学，系统生物学，翻译生物信息学和跨领域生物信息学基础设施的协同主题，以促进新的研究合作。两个特别小组，大数据和生物信息学，以及生物信息学教育研讨会将促进对研究和教育机会和障碍的讨论。为了吸引学生，BIBM-2016让他们参与会议组织，并在会议计划中包括指导活动。这项支持将提供支持本科生和研究生参与美国所需的关键资金。BIBM会议征集高质量的原创研究论文，内容涉及机器学习中的新计算技术和方法、数据挖掘、文本分析、模式识别、知识表示、数据库、数据建模、组合数学、计算机科学随机建模;字符串和图形算法;语言学方法;机器人学;约束满足;数据可视化;并行计算;数据集成;及其在生命科学领域中的应用。会议论文集将在IEEE数字图书馆出版和索引。

Bioinformatics and biomedicine research are fundamental to our understanding of complex biological systems, impacting the science and technology of fields ranging from agricultural and environmental sciences to pharmaceutical and medical sciences. The research requires close collaboration among multi-disciplinary teams of researchers in quantitative sciences, life sciences, and their interfaces. The 10th Annual IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM-2016) is held in Shenzhen, China from December 15-18, 2016 (https://cci.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm2016/index.html). It will provide an open and interactive forum to promote multi- and interdisciplinary research and education in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, facilitating the cross fertilization of ideas and bridging knowledge gaps. The scientific program will cover synergistic themes on genomics, systems biology, translational bioinformatics, and cross-cutting bioinformatics infrastructure to promote new research collaboration. Two special panels, Big Data and Bioinformatics, and the Bioinformatics Educational Workshop will foster discussion on research and education opportunities and barriers. As an effort to engage students, BIBM-2016 has involved them in the meeting organization and has included mentoring activities in the conference program. This support will provide the crucial funding needed to support the participation of undergraduates and graduate students in U.S.-based institutions, especially those from underrepresented groups, as a training opportunity for the next generation of scientists and engineers, thereby, broadening the scientific impact of this international conference.The BIBM conference solicits high-quality original research papers in new computational techniques and methods in machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modeling and simulation and their application in life science domain. The conference proceedings will be published and indexed in IEEE Digital Library.
