* General Information:
ICARIS 2011 aims to build on the success of previous years to provide
a forum for AIS researchers in academia and industry to present and
discuss their latest advances. In addition to peer-reviewed papers,
ICARIS 2011 will present a range of plenary lectures and tutorials to
inspire and facilitate both the computer scientist and immunologist in
their work.
To encourage dialogue with the theoretical and clinical immunology
communities, ICARIS 2011 will again adopt an (optional) extended
abstract (2-6 pages) submission for the Immunoinformatics &
Computational Immunology Stream. Full papers are welcome, but extended
versions of abstracts will not be required. All accepted abstracts
will be published alongside full papers in the proceedings.
The conference programme will be partitioned into three streams:
Theoretical Stream:
This stream is for papers describing theoretical aspects of AIS,
excluding theoretical immunology. This includes (but is not limited
to) mathematical modelling of algorithms, convergence analysis,
empirical investigation into algorithm performance and complexity
analysis. To make sure the paper appeals to the widest possible
audience, the mathematics should be clearly presented, and the paper
should discuss the practical implications of any theoretical results.
Applied Stream:
This stream is for papers describing the application of AIS to
computational and engineering problems. The problem domain should be
clearly explained, detailing why it is challenging and why AIS are a
suitable methodology to use. Experiments should be carefully
explained, with the expectation that appropriate statistical analysis
of results will be used to help draw conclusions. Where possible, the
approach taken should be compared with alternative strategies.
Immunoinformatics & Computational Immunology Stream:
The goal of the Immunoinformatics & Computational Immunology stream is
to attract researchers from computer science, information science,
engineering, biomathematics, biomedicine, bioinformatics, systems
biology, and immunology to share and exchange their knowledge of the
state-of-the-art research issues, methodologies, ideas, and
challenges. Topics of interest include:
* Immune modelling;
* Structural Immunoinformatics;
* Epitope analysis and prediction;
* Analysis and prediction of MHC-peptide binding;
* Databases and ontologies for Immunoinformatics;
* Analysis and prediction of minor histocompatibility antigens;
* Predictive models on organ transplantation;
* Immunogenomics;
* Vaccine design;
* Multi-agent based models of immunity;
* Gene networks and systems biology in immunity;
* Allergenicity prediction.
Paper Submissions:
All papers will undergo a double blind review process. Authors are
requested to submit a PDF file no later than the submission deadline
28th of Feb.2011. The authors name and affiliation should not appear
on the paper. Please follow the formatting instructions at the
Springer-Verlag LNCS site. Papers should be a maximum of fourteen (14)
pages. To encourage dialog with the theoretical and clinical
immunology communities, ICARIS 2011 will again adopt an (optional)
extended abstract (2-6 pages) submission for the Immunoinformatics &
Computational Immunology Stream. Full papers are welcome, but extended
versions of abstracts will not be required. All accepted abstracts
will be published alongside full papers in the proceedings. Authors
must make it clear in their submission which stream the paper is to be
considered for.? Papers should be submitted via the submissions
section of the website. You will be provided with a reference number
that will be used throughout the submission process.
All papers will undergo a double blind review process. Authors are
requested to submit a PDF.
The proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer
Science, Springer, submission is now open for ICARIS-2011:
