Call for Papers: IAENG International Conference on Bioinformatics (ICB 2009)
CFP: IAENG International Conference on Bioinformatics
ICB 2009
From: International Association of Engineers
The 2009 IAENG International Conference on Bioinformatics
18-20 March, 2009, Hong Kong
http://www.iaeng.org/IMECS2009/ICB2009.html
The conference ICB'09 is held under the International MultiConference of Engineers
and Computer Scientists 2009. The IMECS 2009 is organized by the International
Association of Engineers (IAENG), and serves as good platforms for the engineering
community members to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The last
conference in 2008 has attracted a total of over one thousand participants from over
50 countries.
All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-17012-2-0). The abstracts will be
indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be
considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in
IAENG journals and in edited books. Revised and expanded version of the selected
papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the
framework of cooperation between IAENG and Springer. For reference, the following
IAENG post conference edited books, Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer
Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, and
Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, have been published by
Springer.
