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

计算技术正在彻底改变科学和工程领域的研究方式。在各个领域都取得了无与伦比的进展。在生物学、医学和药物发现领域尤其如此。鉴于这些领域对整个社会至关重要，因此必须尽一切努力促进这些领域的研究进展。如果孤立地在这些领域取得进展是不够的。这些社区必须共同努力，互相帮助，并提出最好的诊断工具，治疗程序，各种疾病的药物等，即使今天在生物信息学的一般领域存在一些会议，他们在很大程度上集中在这三个领域之一。拟议的会议的目标是汇集所有三个领域的科学家，从而作为一个平台，在这些领域的研究工作的桥梁。申请的资金将用于支持研究生和博士后研究员（PDF）的旅费。这些学生和PDF将与专家会面并听取他们的研究结果。不仅出席学生和PDF，而且其他非出席学生和教师将受益，因为当前者返回他们的学校，他们将交流他们的经验，后者。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 revolutionizing the way in which research is conducted in science and engineering. Unsurpassed advances have been made in various areas. This is particularly true in the domains of biology, medicine, and drug discovery. Given that these areas are of utmost importance to the society at large, it is imperative that every effort be made to enable research advances in them. It is not enough if advances are made in these areas in isolation. These communities have to work together to help each other 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. The proposed conference has the goal of bringing together scientists in all the three areas and hence serving as a platform for bridging the research efforts in these areas. 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. Not only the attending students and PDFs but also other non-attending students and faculty will benefit since when the former return to their schools they will communicate their experience to the latter. The conference proceedings will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners. Two journal special issues are also planned.
