Call for papers and participation

The International Symposium of Information Visualization in Biomedical Informatics (IVBi) is a forum for the presentation of original papers in information visualization theory and applications to biomedical biomedical and biomolecular data and processes. The symposium covers all aspects of visualization and issues affecting interaction with large and complex data sets. We encourage the submission of papers covering new techniques, old techniques applied in novel ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth surveys.

Example topics include, but are not limited to:

• Array data (mRNA, exon, CGH, etc.) design and analysis
• Biomolecular data and networks, phylogeny
• Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment and search
• Protein structure, function, sequence analysis
• Signaling pathways, biochemical networks
• Genetic sequence analysis, comparison and alignment networks
• Gene regulation, expression, identification and network
• DNA, RNA structure, function, sequence analysis
• Biochemical and cellular simulations and models
• High-performance computing and parallel rendering
• Structural, functional and comparative genomics
• Biomarkers
• Neuroscience and physiology
• Drug design
• Computer aided diagnosis

Examples of visualization topics include, but are not limited to:

• Interaction with data sets, human factors
• Data exploration using classical and novel approaches
• Visualization and databases
• Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations
• Volume and flow visualization
• Annotation and labeling
• Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data
• Comparative Methods / User studies / Surveys
• Identification of correlated and anomalous relationships in disparate data sets
