Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper
(about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
H. R. Arabnia by Mar. 4, 2007 (hra@xxxxxxxxxx). E-mail submissions
in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable (postal mail submissions
are also fine.) 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, email address, and telephone number for each
author.
The first page should also identify the name of the author who will
be presenting the paper (if accepted) 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 two members of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the co-chairs of the
track.
The track chairs will make the final decision. Lastly, the Camera-
Ready
papers will be reviewed by one member of the program committee.

Members of Program and Organizing Committee:

The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World Academy
of Science (chapters: bioinformatics, supercomputing; scientific
computing; artificial intelligence; imaging science; databases;
simulation; software engineering; embedded systems; internet and
web
technologies; communications; and computer security.) Many members
of the program committee include renowned leaders, scholars,
researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest ranks;
many
are directors of large research laboratories, IEEE Fellows, heads/
chairs
of departments, deans and provosts. Refer to the following for
the list of committee members:
http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/worldcomp07/ws/BIOCOMP07/committee


Important Dates:

March 4, 2007: Submission of full/draft papers (about 5 to 8
pages)
April 4, 2007: Notification of acceptance
April 27, 2007: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
June 25-28, 2007: The 2007 International Conference on
Bioinformatics
and Computational Biology (BIOCOMP'07)
