2K11 and Beyond: The Emerging Fields of Inter/Multidisciplinary Computer Science in Biomedical Education and Research

生物信息学和系统生物学是相互补充的学科，在复杂的生物医学系统、农业、环境、制药和医学科学以及公共卫生、药物设计、基因组学和其他类似领域的研究和开发方面前景广阔。这两个学科的研究和开发影响着医药、食品生产、法医、农业、药理学、工程学以及生物数学和生物物理学等领域的科学和技术。这一影响是通过推进分子生物学、基因组学和医学的基本概念，帮助我们从多个层面了解活体，开发创新的植入物和假体，创造新的医学成像技术，以及改进检测、预防和治疗疾病的工具和技术来实现的。2011年国际生物信息学、系统生物学和智能计算联席会议(IJCBS)为思想的交流提供了一个共同的平台，并将通过将这两个非常重要和互补的学科连接成一个互动和有吸引力的论坛来帮助塑造知识和科学成就。铭记这一目标，IJCBS 2011旨在促进跨学科和多学科的教育和研究，特别是针对妇女、少数民族和残疾学生等代表性较低的群体，以及这些广泛但非常重要的科学领域的教职员工、工程师和科学家。IJCBS 2011将为那些代表性不足的群体提供旅行支持，并支持由各自领域的世界顶尖科学家举办的杰出研讨会和主旨讲座和辅导讲座。2011年IJCBS将主办这些特别会议，重点是跨学科和多学科的教育和研究，以促进生物信息学和系统生物学领域之间的合作。IJCBS 2011显然是这些领域的大型旗舰国际会议，寻求在新兴界面上的长期合作。

Bioinformatics and systems biology are complementary disciplines that hold great promise for the advancement of research and development in complex biomedical systems, agricultural, environmental, pharmaceutical and medical sciences as well as public health, drug design, genomics and other similar areas. Research and development in these two disciplines impact the science and technology of fields such as medicine, food production, forensics, agriculture, pharmacology, engineering and bio-mathematical and biophysical sciences, among others. This impact is accomplished by advancing fundamental concepts in molecular biology, genomics and medicine, helping us understand living organisms at multiple levels, developing innovative implants and prosthetics, creating new medical image technologies, and improving tools and techniques for the detection, prevention and treatment of diseases. The International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Intelligent Computing (IJCBS) 2011 provides a common platform for the cross fertilization of ideas and will help shape knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging these two very important and complementary disciplines into an interactive and attractive forum. Keeping this objective in mind, IJCBS 2011 is aimed at promoting interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education and research, especially for underrepresented groups such as women, minorities, and students with disabilities, as well as faculty, engineers and scientists in these broad but very important scientific fields. The IJCBS 2011 will provide travel support to those under-represented groups and support distinguished workshops and keynote and tutorial lectures delivered by the world's top scientists in their fields. The IJCBS 2011 will host these special sessions focusing on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education and research in order to foster collaboration between the bioinformatics and systems biology domains. The IJCBS 2011 is markedly a large flagship international conference in these fields, seeking long term collaborations at the emerging interface.
