SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper
(about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
Prof. H. R. Arabnia ( hra@cs.uga.edu ) by March 23, 2008. email
submissions in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable. All reasonable
typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format
to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name
of the conference the paper is being submitted to (ie, BIOCOMP'08).
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author
and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.
Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field who are
independent of the conference program committee. The referees'
evaluations will then be reviewed by one member of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the co-chairs of the track.
The track chairs will make the final decision.
IMPORTANT DATES:
March 23, 2008: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages)
April 17, 2008: Notification of acceptance
May 3, 2008: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
July 14-17, 2008: The 2008 International Conference on Bioinformatics
and Computational Biology (BIOCOMP'08)
GENERAL CO-CHAIR / COORDINATOR:
Prof. Hamid R. Arabnia
Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Supercomputing (Springer)
Vice President, Int'l Society of Intelligent Biological Medicine
The University of Georgia
Department of Computer Science
415 Graduate Studies Research Center
Athens, Georgia 30602-7404, USA

LOCATION OF CONFERENCE:
BIOCOMP will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is a mega
hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms.
It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and
from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions,
including: spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool,
lighted tennis courts, nightly shows, a number of restaurants, ...
The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable.
The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions.
