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科学和工程研究的进行方式。在包括生物学、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展。鉴于这些领域对整个社会的重要性，必须提高这些领域的技术水平。当来自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，可以取得这样的进步，即使今天在生物信息学的一般领域存在一些会议，它们在很大程度上集中在这三个领域之一。这个国际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，所申请的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将与专家会面并听取他们的研究结果。为实现这一目标，计划邀请一些主旨发言人和特邀发言人。不仅参加的学生和PDF，而且其他学生也将受益，因为当他们回到自己的学校，他们将与研究小组的其他人交流他们的经验。会议记录将是非常有用的学生，研究人员和从业人员。还计划发行两份期刊特刊。

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.
