Submission deadline | June 1, 2018 |
Poster Abstract Submission Deadline | June 13, 2018 |
The 2018 Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop will be held in conjunction with ACM-BCB. The rapid accumulation of macromolecular structures presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities in the analysis, comparison, modeling, and prediction of macromolecular structures and interactions. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology, structural biology, data mining, optimization and high performance computing to discuss new results, techniques, and research problems in computational structural bioinformatics.
CSBW invites high quality original papers and posters on developments in computational problems relating to molecular structure. Authors of accepted papers will be provided approximately 20 minutes to provide an oral summary of their work, with time for questions. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop to present the paper. Registration to CSBW is complementary with registration to ACM-BCB 2018.
Select manuscripts will be invited to submit extended manuscripts to a special issue of Molecules.
Submission Guidelines
Two types of submissions will be accepted. All papers and posters must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
- Full papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. See ACM templates at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for LaTeX and Microsoft Word temlates. Manuscripts should be submitted via easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbw2018.
- Posters abstracts must not exceed 2 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. See ACM templates at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for LaTeX and Microsoft Word temlates. Manuscripts should be submitted via easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbw2018. Two page abstracts will be presented as posters during the workshop, and authors of accepted 2 page abstracts will be asked to submit revised 1 page abstracts which will be included in the ACM-BCB proceedings.
