*
*Technical University of Vienna, Austria
July 7 -- 9, 2008


*Scope of the conference:*
The primary focus of BIRD '08 is to provide researchers and users in the 
field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new research 
directions, developments, and software/web services.
It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical 
problems by computer science, machine learning, or information 
processing tools.
The conceptual level of the methods range from theoretical approaches 
through the design of algorithms, models, and information processing 
systems through to the development of software packages and web services.

*The program committee seeks contributions, which topics include, but 
are not limited to:*

    * Algebraic Biology
    * Databases & Data Integration
    * Drug Design
    * Ontologies & Textmining
    * Evolution and Phylogenetics
    * Genomics
    * Gene and Splice Site Recognition
    * Machine learning and data analysis
    * Gene Expression/regulation & Microarrays
    * MicroRNA and RNAi
    * Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment Support
    * Molecular Dynamics
    * Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology
    * Phylogenetics & Molecular Evolution
    * Protein & RNA Structure and Function
    * Proteomics
    * Sequence Analysis & Alignment
    * SNPs and Haplotyping
    * System Biology and Modelling

*Paper Submission Details:*

    * Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or
      experience reports in English.
    * The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as
      it will appear in the proceedings of BIRD'08.
    * Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNBI-format.
    * Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from
      formatting requirements may be rejected without review.

All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in 
Bioinformatics" (LNBI <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>) 
by Springer Verlag.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, 
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
Authors are requested to submit their contribution electronically before 
January 31, 2008.
