Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the framework of cooperation between Springer, America Institute of Physics and IAENG. The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books. For reference, the recent IAENG post conference edited books include titles like for example: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, and Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research by Springer. The conference is held under the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2010. The IMECS 2010 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The IMECS conferences serve as good platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Our IMECS committees have been formed with over two hundred and sixty committees members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The last IMECS 2008 has attracted more than one thousand participants from over 50 countries. ========= Submission: IMECS 2010 is now accepting manuscript submissions. Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper in full paper (any appropriate style) to imecs{at}iaeng.org by 8 December, 2009. The submitted file can be in MS Word format, PS format, or PDF formats. The first page of the draft paper should include: (1) Title of the paper; (2) Name, affiliation and e-mail address for each author; (3) A maximum of 5 keywords of the paper. Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being submitted to should be stated in the email. It is our target that the reviewing process and the result notification for each submitted manuscript can be completed within one month from its submission. The reviewing process is to ensure the quality of the accepted papers in the congress. The conferences have enjoyed high reputation among many research colleagues ( for example, see the http://cs.conference-ranking.net/ or http://www.conference-ranking.com/ or http://www.conference-ranking.org/cs.html ). The topics of the ICB'10 include, but not limited to, the following: Sequence analysis Sequence alignment Sequence database Sequence profiling tools Sequence motif RNA interference analysis High throughput screening Gene network and pathway analysis Genome annotation Gene finding Computational evolutionary biology Gene expression analysis Analysis of mutations in cancer and other diseases Structure prediction Structural motif Preserving biodiversity Modeling biological systems Software tools Protein expression analysis Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis And other applications ICB Conference Co-Chairs and Committee Members: Dechang Chen Assistant professor, Department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, USA Dr. Qingfeng Chen (co-chair) School of Information Technology Deakin University, Australia I-Jen Chiang Associate Professor, Graduate Institute of Medical Informatics, Taipei Medical University Adjunct Associate Professor, Graduate Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Wallace Choy (co-chair) Research Ass.

Academia.edu launched 12 months ago and now helps 300,000 academics a month answer the question 'who's researching what?' There are already 1,658 people on Academia.edu with Biology as a research interest. We have built a dedicated page on Academia.edu for the BioForum mailing list: http://lists.academia.edu/See-members-of-BioForum This page will show you fellow members already on Academia.edu. You can see their papers, research interests, and other information. Visit the link below, sign up with Academia.edu, and share your research interests with fellow members of BioForum. http://lists.academia.edu/See-members-of-BioForum Richard Dr. Richard Price, post-doc, Philosophy Dept, Oxford University.
