Deadline for paper, poster and tutorial submission has been extended to June 15, July 20 and June 15 respectively!


ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedicine (ACM BCB) is the main flagship conference of the ACM SIG Bioinformatics. ACM BCB 2012 is in its third year, building upon the success of ACM BCB 2010 in Niagara Falls and ACM BCB 2011 in Chicago. Each of the conference had about 200 attendees. ACM BCB 2011 will be held in Orlando from October 7-10, 2012.

The conference will provide a premier forum for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research encompassing disciplines of computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine. The last two decades have led to a tremendous growth in the size and dimensionality of biological and biomedical data. This conference serves to provide information on leading edge in research in processing, modeling and analyzing these datasets for a variety of applications.

Examples of the topics that will be covered include:

  1. Genomics and Evolution
  2. Protein and RNA Structure, Protein Function, and Proteomics
  3. Computational Systems Biology
  4. Next Generation Sequencing Data
  5. Medical Informatics and Translational Bioinformatics
  6. Cross-Cutting Computational Methods
  7. Bioinformatics Infrastructure
  8. Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology
  9. Computational Epidemiology
  10. Image Analysis
  11. Knowledge Representation and Inference
  12. Integration of Biomedical Data
  13. Databases, Knowledgebases & Ontologies
  14. Text Mining and Natural Language Processing

The following contributions are sought

  1. Contributed Papers
  2. Posters
  3. Workshops
  4. Tutorials

Authors should submit papers using the Easy Chair System.


The submission of abstract is desirable but not compulsory. In the abstract, you should include paper title, author info and the copy-pasting of a tentative version of the abstract of the full paper.
