SUBMISSION DEADLINE: APRIL 12, 2013 (EXTENDED)
We seek original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on the application of Parallelism to any possible Bioinformatics problem. In particular, contributions are solicited on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
– MPI implementations in Bioinformatics.
– Parallel and distributed algorithms in Bioinformatics.
– Workload partitioning strategies in Bioinformatics.
– Memory-efficient algorithms in Bioinformatics.
– Parallel tools and applications in Bioinformatics.
– Multicore and cluster computing in Bioinformatics.
– Supercomputing in Bioinformatics.
– Grid/Cloud/P2P computing in Bioinformatics.
– Volunteer computing in Bioinformatics.
– Hardware accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, Cell processors, etc.) in Bioinformatics.
With regard to the Bioinformatics problems, many different alternatives exist: biological sequence analysis, comparison and alignment; motif, gene and signal recognition/discovery; molecular evolution; phylogenetics and phylogenomics; determination or prediction of the structure of RNA and protein; DNA twisting and folding; gene expression and gene regulatory networks; deduction of metabolic pathways; microarray design and analysis; proteomics; functional genomics; molecular docking; design of DNA sequences for DNA computing; etc.
