Call For Papers WCB15 - 11th Workshop on Constraint-based methods for Bioinformatics Cork, Ireland, August 31st Jointly colocated with CP 2015 and ICLP 2015 http://clp.dimi.uniud.it/wcb15 Overview During recent years, Biology has become a source of challenging problems for the entire field of Computer Science in general, and for the areas of computational logic and constraint programming in particular. Successful approaches to these problems are likely to have significant applications in several fields of research, such as medicine, agriculture, industry, etc. Several successful applications of the Logic and Constraint Programming paradigms in Bioinformatics have been carried out in the last years, in the area of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, in haplotype inference, in proteins structure prediction, in RNA secondary structure prediction, and in system biology, just to cite a few. The workshop aims at exchanging ideas between researchers and collecting, if possible, new problems to be faced in the next future by our community. Revised, extended versions of WCB papers are welcomed to a special track in the ALMOB Journal (IF 1.86). Submitted papers can be (other details in the home page): - Full papers describing new research results - Extended Abstracts concerning original (unpublished) results. - Abstracts describing ongoing work. - System descriptions (with demos at the workshop). - Summaries of already accepted or recently published papers/results. - Well-motivated proposals of bioinformatics problems for constraint based methods. Important Dates: 2015/6/15 – Deadline for submissions 2015/7/15 – Notification 2015/7/30 – Camera ready version 2015/8/31 – Workshop Submission Submitted papers should be 3-15 pages long in the LNCS format; submission is made through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcb2015 Workshop Organizers Alessandro Dal Palu' (Univ. of Parma, Italy) Agostino Dovier (Univ. of Udine, Italy)
