Call for Papers: Issue on "Computational Systems Biology" in OUP Bioinformatics
in conjunction with
the Machine Learning in Systems Biology Workshop (MLSB 2012) in
Basel, Switzerland, September 8 and 9, 2012

MLSB and the Virtual Issue on "Computational Systems Biology"
MLSB12, the Sixth International Workshop on Machine Learning in
Systems Biology will be held in Basel, Switzerland on September 8 and
9, 2012. The Workshop is organized as "Satellite Meeting" of the 11th
European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB). The aim of this
workshop is to contribute to the cross-fertilization between the
research in machine learning methods and their applications to systems
biology.
As a new feature of this year's MLSB, full paper submissions to
MLSB will be considered for publication in a virtual issue on
"Computational Systems Biology" in a special proceedings section of
Bioinformatics (Oxford University Press). In parallel, we allow
submissions of extended abstracts -- as stated in
the Call for Contributions -- solely for
oral/poster presentation at MLSB, without consideration for
publication in the issue.
Submissions
We are soliciting high-quality papers on
all aspects of computational methods in systems biology. All
submissions will go through rigorous peer-review. Accepted papers will
be presented by the authors in an oral presentation at MLSB and
published in the virtual issue on "Computational Systems Biology" in
OUP Bioinformatics. Papers requiring extensive revisions will be
considered separately as abstract presentations at MLSB and as regular
papers for the Bioinformatics journal.
All manuscripts should be submitted via
the Bioinformatics
online submission system. Manuscripts must adhere to the
formatting instructions for "Original papers" in
Bioinformatics. During submission please specify MLSB as one of the
keywords, and include a cover letter stating the manuscript should be
considered for the MLSB meeting. Deadline for paper submission is May
21st.
Authors of papers that were submitted, but not selected, for the main
ECCB 2012 meeting may submit an updated version of their ECCB paper
with the full ECCB reviews and a clearly marked response to the
reviews for MLSB consideration by June 4th. They will be notified of
any decision by June 18th.
We encourage all authors to publish under the OUP open access
model. Open access fees apply (details).
