Seventh International IEEE Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS) - Travel Awards

计算技术正在极大地影响着科学和工程研究的进行方式。包括生物学、医学和药物发现在内的不同领域都取得了令人印象深刻的进步。鉴于这些领域对整个社会的巨大重要性，有必要推进这些领域的最新技术。当这些领域的科学家共同努力，并提出最好的诊断工具、治疗程序、各种疾病的药物等时，就可以取得这样的进步。尽管今天在生物信息学的一般领域存在许多会议，但它们在很大程度上集中在这三个领域中的一个。本次国际IEEE生物和医学科学计算进展会议（ICCABS）的目标是将生物学、医学和药物发现领域的科学家聚集在一起，从而为他们提供一个合作平台。预计这些合作将导致解决一些具有挑战性的问题。申请资金将用于支持研究生和博士后研究员的差旅费。这些学生和pdf将与专家见面并听取他们的研究成果。为了实现这一目标，我们计划邀请一些主题演讲者和特邀演讲者。不仅参加的学生和pdf文件，而且其他学生也将受益，因为当他们回到学校时，他们将与研究小组的其他人交流他们的经验。会议记录将对学生、研究人员和从业人员非常有用。还计划出版两期期刊特刊。

Computational techniques are drastically impacting the way in which scientific and engineering research are conducted. Impressive advances have been made in different areas including biology, medicine, and drug discovery. Given the great importance of these areas to the society at large, it is essential to advance the state-of-the art in them. Such advances can be made when the scientists from these domains work together and come up with the best possible diagnosis tools, treatment procedures, drugs for various diseases, etc. Even though a number of conferences exist today in the general area of bioinformatics, they focus on one of these three areas to a large extent. This International IEEE Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS) has the goal of bringing together scientists in biology, medicine, and drug discovery and hence serving as a collaboration platform for them. It is expected that these collaborations will result in the solution of some challenging problems.The requested funds will be used to support the travel expenses of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows (PDFs). These students and PDFs will get to meet experts and listen to their research results. Toward this goal, the plan is to invite a number of keynote speakers and invited speakers. Not only the attending students and PDFs but also other students will benefit since when they return to their schools they will communicate their experience with others in the research group. The conference proceedings will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners. Two journal special issues are also planned.
