Along with the development of high-throughput technologies in molecular experiments, biology is gradually shifting its research approach towards comprehensive and data-driven methods. Establishing a methodology for knowledge discovery and management of large amounts of heterogeneous data has therefore become a main priority in bioinformatics. To accomplish this objective, both practical applications and theoretical research will be essential. Organized in conjunction with PAKDD-05, the goal of this workshop is to attract various researchers from both computer science and bioinformatics for sharing and exchanging their awareness of current research issues, technologies, and ideas. Papers are welcome from topics related to various data- and knowledge-based approaches in bioinformatics, such as (but not limited to) the following: [computational keywords] - Database integration and management - Knowledge discovery and data mining - Prediction by machine learning - Information retrieval and extraction - Linguistic and semantic resources including dictionary and ontology [biomedical keywords] - Molecular interaction analysis - Analysis and simulation on molecular network and pathway - Extraction of functional information from biomedical literature - Computer-aided annotation - Chemoinformatics - Drug discovery - Diagnosis and healthcare
Submission Guideline: All papers should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages on A4 paper size (or 5000 words), using at least 1 inch margins and 12-point font. When submitting, please send an electronic version (.pdf) of your paper to the email address below. kddmbs-submit@jaist.ac.jp Publication: All the accepted *and* presented papers will be included in the proceedings available on-site during the workshop. The proceedings will be published by Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). To be included in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must confirm his/her attendance to the workshop and present the paper. Authors of accepted papers must complete a confirmation form and submit it with the camera-ready version of the paper. Important Dates: Submission deadline was extended. Note that this is the firm deadline. No more extension is allowed. Paper Submissions Due: March 14, 2005 March 24, 2005 Notification Date: April 4, 2005 April 7, 2005 April 9, 2005 Camera Ready Due: April 18, 2005 April 21, 2005
