First Call For Papers The Eighth Annual Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2004), sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM-SIGACT) will be organized by University of California San Diego, San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the International Society for Computational Biology in San Diego, CA on March 27-31, 2004. The conference will be held at the Westin Hotel Horton Plaza, San Diego. The web site for the conference location is Westin Hotel Horton Plaza, San Diego. RECOMB 2004 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and computational biology. It is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together academic and industrial scientists from molecular biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics.
Papers reporting on
original research (both theoretical and experimental) in all areas of
computational molecular biology are sought.
Typical but not exclusive
topics of interest include:
Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the extended abstract is submitted to
RECOMB, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the
same paper) should not be under review by any other conference with
published proceedings or by a scientific journal.
If accepted for RECOMB 2004, a paper may be submitted for journal publication
after the acceptance notice has been received by the authors.
The extended abstracts
for the conference will be published by ACM Press and will be available
at the conference. A selection
of the accepted extended abstracts in their final journal versions will
be invited to appear in a special issue of the Journal of Computational
Biology devoted to RECOMB 2004.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION A manuscript should
start with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved,
their significance and a comparison with previous work. This material
should be understandable to non-specialists. A technical exposition directed
to the specialist should follow. The length, excluding cover page and
bibliography, should not exceed 10 pages. The manuscript should be easy
to read, using at least 11 point font size on U.S. standard 8 1/2 by 11
inch paper with no less than one inch margin all around. If authors believe
that more details are absolutely necessary to substantiate the claims
of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix, which might
be read, at the discretion of the reviewers. An e-mail address for the
contact author should be included. Manuscripts that deviate significantly
from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
http://recomb04.sdsc.edu/paper_submission.html MANUSCRIPT DEADLINES The conference submissions will be refereed by the program committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by e-mail on or before December 5, 2003. A final copy of each accepted paper is required by January 16, 2004. An author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the conference and present the paper; otherwise alternative arrangements should be made to have the paper presented. POSTERS RECOMB 2004 will include
a poster session. Accepted posters will appear in a special poster book.
Poster submission instructions will be announced later.
