2006 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation

Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
16-21 July 2006

Special Session on Evolutionary Computation
in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Bioinformatics and computational biology present a number of difficult optimization problems with large search spaces. Recent applications of evolutionary computation in this area suggest that they are well-suited to this area of research. This special session will highlight applications of evolutionary computation to a broad range of topics. Particular interest will be directed towards novel applications of evolutionary computation to problems in these areas.

The bioinformatics special session has been a part of CEC since 1999 and continues to bring in between 8-16 quality papers. There is a clear interest in both the computational intelligence community and biology communities for this special session.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• drug docking
• protein folding
• sequence alignment
• phylogenetics
• RNA structure
• genomics
• proteomics
• metabolics
• medicine
• ecological modeling

Important dates:

• Paper Submission: extended to 15 February 2006
• Decision Notification: 15 March 2006
• Camera-Ready Submission: 15 April 2006

Paper Submission:

Electronic web submission in PDF format. See "Paper Submission" at http://www.wcci2006.org/.
