Keynote Speakers
Several internationally recognized experts in different areas in Bioinformatics will give keynote presentations in this symposium. The confirmed keynote speakers of the symposium include
| Dr. Kevin Gardner Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression Head, T Cell Transcription Regulation Group Center for Cancer Research, NCI |
Prof. Vijay Raghavan Distinguished Professor in Computer Science The Center for Advanced Computer Studies The University of Louisiana at Lafayette |
Dr. Kenneth Eilertsen Vice President NuPotential Inc. Baton Rouge, Louisiana |
Submissions
Submitted papers
must report significant research results, findings, or advances within their
own fields. Papers with focus on biological, biochemistry or biophysics
discovery must concern research having a significant in silico component
(such as the use of databases, software tools or novel technologies), and
papers concentrating on computational techniques, algorithms, models or
engineering solutions must have them validated on real biological data sets.
Abstracts may report significant work in progress, for which full validation
has not yet been performed. Since the symposium is geared toward a diverse
audience of biologists, physicians, computer scientists, chemists, engineers,
technology transfer professionals, graduate students, professors and
researchers from the industry, the papers or abstracts must be presented in a
lucid manner accessible to such individuals.
Full paper
preparation
Full papers must
be 5 to 10 pages in length, single-spaced, and in 2-column format. Manuscripts
shorter than 5 pages will be considered as abstracts (see Abstracts submission below), and submissions longer than 10 pages
will be rejected without review. Please use the templates provided below or
follow the instruction included. All accepted full papers will
be printed in the Symposium proceedings.
Abstract preparation
Abstracts will be considered in two
categories: 2-3 page abstracts for oral presentation and 1-page abstracts for
posters.
2-3 page
abstracts must provide enough detail and
they will be peer reviewed. Please
use the templates provided below or follow the instructions included. All
accepted 2-page abstracts for oral presentation will be printed in the
Symposium proceedings. For 1-page poster
abstracts, follow the instructions provided in the example file provided
below. 2-3 page abstracts not chosen for oral presentation will be considered
for
posters.

Submission
procedure
All
submissions are accepted in PDF
only. After preparing your papers and abstracts in the required format, convert
your file in PDF. The submissions are accepted through our automated submission system at: http://www.bioinformaticshome.com/openconf
Fill in the author
names, their mailing and electronic addresses, and up to 5 keywords. All
submissions except for 1-page poster abstracts are also required to supply a
short abstract (up to 250 words). The keywords and short abstracts will be used
for selection of reviewers who are expert in the relevant area. Thus it is
essential that the short abstract and keywords provide enough information on
the submitted work.
Final
version submission (for full papers)
If your manuscript
is accepted, you will be asked to revise it in accordance with the reviewer's
comments and submit the final version. The final
version of a full paper should be up to 10 pages in length. If it is
necessary and if it is approved, it can be extended to 12 pages. Contact the BIOT-2010 organizing committee (see
below) for the approval if your manuscript needs to be longer than 10 pages. You must submit a paper in PDF by the date specified below. The final
version of the accepted papers will be printed in the Symposium proceedings.
Author registration
At least one of the authors must register for the event before the final
submission can be accepted.
Journal
publication
Extended versions
of the best full papers from BIOT-2010
will be published in the International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and
Applications (IJBRA). Abstracts (either for oral presentation or for
posters) are not considered for journal publication.
