Submission deadline | June 16, 2021 |
The second edition of the International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Life Sciences aims to continue being a meeting point for Information Systems (IS), Conceptual Modeling (CM), and Data Management(DM) researchers working on health care and life science problems, and an opportunity to share, discuss and find new approaches to improve promising fields, with a special focus on Genomic Data Management - how to use the information from the genome to better understand biological and clinical features - and Precision Medicine - giving to each patient an individualized treatment by understanding the peculiar aspects of the disease.
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions of high-quality papers describing original and unpublished results regarding any of the workshop’s topics of interest. Manuscripts must be prepared using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers must be submitted as PDF files using this EasyChair CfP.
To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly peer-reviewed by the Program Committee. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Submissions to CMLS 2021 are electronically only.
Post-conference publication
The papers accepted to the workshop's last edition CMLS 2020, published within the Springer volume Advances in Conceptual Modeling, have been invited to submit a revised and an extended version for a post-conference supplement in the journal BMC Bioinformatics journal (2-year IF 2.511, SJR 1.374). We are working towards an agreement with the same journal also for this year.
