IEEE CIBCB 2019 - Call for Papers |
IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology has become a major technical event in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to problems in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields. It provides a global forum for academic and industrial scientists to discuss and present their latest research findings from theory to applications.
CIBCB 2019 (https://cibcb2019.icas.xyz/) will be held in Certosa di Pontignano (Siena), Tuscany (Italy) in July 9th-11th.
Keynote speakers:
- Pierre Baldi University of California, Irvine, USA (TBC)
- Riccardo Bellazzi University of Pavia, Italy
- Thomas Keane EMBL-EBI, Cambridge, UK

Submission Guidelines
|
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of 2 to 4 pages (short papers) or of 5 to 8 pages (complete papers) including results, figures and references, or poster abstracts. At maximum, two additional pages are permitted with over-length page charge of US$100/page, to be paid during author registration. Papers must be in PDF and written in English. Detailed instructions and templates for preparing your manuscript can be found here: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
The deadline for paper submission is by February 15, 2019. Each paper will be peer-reviewed. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be indexed in IEEE Xplore®. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register (https://cibcb2019.icas.xyz/registration/) and present the paper at the conference. All papers should be submitted via the EasyChair online submission system. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
Important Dates
- Paper submission deadline: February 15, 2019
- Final (revised) paper submission deadline: May 31, 2019
- Abstract submission deadline: May 31, 2019
