SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to
hra@cs.uga.edu (no more than 7 pages, single spaced and font
size of 10 to 12 - all reasonable typesetting formats are
acceptable).
Authors should write the following in the subject header of
their email:
"Submission for Consideration in Final Edition of BIOCOMP'08 Proceedings"
Papers should be attached to emails and must be either in
Word Doc or PDF formats.
Papers must not have been previously published or currently
submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper
should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal
address, and email address for each author. Accepted papers
will be published in the Final Edition of BIOCOMP'08 Proceedings
(will go to press in late August.)
All submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance,
clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two
researchers in the topical area.
The authors of accepted papers will later be asked to follow a
particular typing instructions to prepare their final paper for
publication.
IMPORTANT DATES:
June 1, 2008: Submission of full papers (less than 8 pages)
June 14, 2008: Notification of acceptance
June 27, 2008: Registration
July 14-17, 2008: BIOCOMP'08 International Conference
July 20, 2008: Camera-Ready Papers Due for publication in the
Final Edition of the proceedings.
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.
