The essential role of high-performance computing to the future success of precision medicine continues to grow. The growth of AI, the dramatic increase in the volume of research and clinical data available through sequencing and advanced imaging techniques; clinical data from medical records and mobile health devices; and research data from automated platforms all demand use and innovation in the applications of high-performance computing. Catalyzed by the rapidly evolving volume and type of data, the growing use of simulations across multiple scales of biomedicine, and the vigorous adoption of deep learning approaches, a convergence is underway that is shaping the frontiers of computing and precision medicine. New approaches to drug discovery, data sharing, data utilization and safeguards, and the use of machine learning models in research and clinical contexts has created new challenges and opportunities in these rapidly evolving frontiers.
The Fourth HPC Applications in Precision Medicine workshop is held this year virtually (last year’s workshop was unfortunately cancelled) and will bring the computational and life sciences communities together to share experiences, examine current challenges, and discuss future opportunities for shaping the future of HPC applications in precision medicine.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
-
Authors are invited to submit abstracts in English for consideration by the program committee. Abstracts may be submitted either as brief or extended abstracts. Brief abstracts will be considered for 15-minute presentations, while extended abstracts will be considered for presentations up to 30 minutes.
-
Brief abstract guidelines – submitted in English with a length up to 500 words.
-
Extended abstract guidelines – submitted in English, structured as preliminary technical papers of a length up to four letter size pages (not including bibliography). A bibliography should be included and use the IEEE format for conference proceedings (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
-
- Submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed and selected for presentation in the HPC Applications of Precision Medicine workshop.
- Extended abstracts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, alignment to expressed aims in the paper call, quality of presentation and interest to workshop attendees. Submitted abstracts may incorporate unpublished new advances, insight and/or original research findings.
- Submissions received after the due date, exceeding the prescribed length, or not appropriately structured may also be returned without consideration or review.
- In submitting the paper, the authors acknowledge that at least one author of an accepted submission will register for and attend the workshop.
