The 8th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and
Health Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM
SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2017 is the conference's eigth year, building upon the
success of the first seven meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, Orlando,
Washington DC, Newport Beach, Atlanta, and Seattle. ACM-BCB 2017 will be
held in Boston, MA, August 20-23, 2017.
ACM-BCB 2017 invites tutorials that address the interests of its
varied audience of individuals interested in Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (BCB) including graduate
students, researchers and educators from academia, and researchers and
practitioners from industry and government.
We especially welcome proposals for tutorials that:
- Introduce a specific BCB topic, designed to make the topic (and
the conference) more accessible to participants who are new to that
topic;
- Provide a hands-on introduction to one or more databases,
software tools, or other resources of broad interest to the conference
participants;
- Provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in
a specific BCB topic aimed at researchers and practitioners who are
knowledgeable, but not necessarily experts in the topic;
- Present techniques from research fields e.g., algorithms, data
mining, machine learning, statistics, parallel computing, that are
relevant to BCB research;
- Introduce new research problems, new application areas, or new or emerging technologies of relevance to BCB.
The tutorials will be held on To be announced. We envision tutorials
to be 1 to 4 units where each unit is 50 minutes. We encourage
tutorials with multiple units to have more than one presenter,
preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives.
