The 8th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2017 is the conference's eighth year, building upon the success of the first seven meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, Orlando, Washington DC, Newport Beach, Atlanta and Seattle.
This year, we also encourage the participation of physicians and medical researchers if they apply bioinformatics approaches to solve biomedical challenges in their work. We invite authors to submit results that fall into general areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics, including but not limited to the following areas:
-
computational systems biology
-
microbiomics and metagenomics
-
population, evolution and comparative genomics
-
multi-omics data analysis and integration
-
translational bioinformatics
-
clinical and health decision support systems
-
biomedical and clinical data analytics
-
mobile health and sensor network
