The
main objective of the Proceedings of the Virtual Conference is to establish
a prestigious compilation of research advances, discussions and reviews
on emerging issues related with genomics and bioinformatics. To attain
maximum interaction among the authors and their readers, the 2003 Virtual
Conference Proceedings have a more dynamic format than normal publications.
Each submitted paper will subject to a stringent double blind review
process and accepted manuscripts will published both in paper and electronic
forms. However, to develop an advanced flow of information between the
reader and authors, the readers are encouraged to submit questions and
constructive comments about the paper directly to the author using the
Proceedings electronic discussion forum. Using the same system, the
author is expected to reply and interact to such enquiries. The hope
is that this generated discussion continues for a few months and becomes
the motivation for the development of surprising new ideas that will
enhance our understanding of biological systems and lead to the development
of novel practical and theoretical applications.
The
proceedings will cover six main categories: Experimental Research, Statistical
and Computational Approaches for the Analysis of Genomic Data, Modeling
and Simulation of Biological Systems, Reviews and Letters. We invite
you to publish research advances and views using the
proceedings template.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published and is
not under consideration for publication elsewhere. If you are interested
to present your research as short poster, please the
proceedings template.
A maximum length of two pages will be considered for publication.Submit
your paper or poster to willy_valdivia@orionbiosciences.com.
In
order to achieve the maximum exchange of ideas across sub-disciplines,
authors are encouraged to take special consideration to the use of terminologies
to describe their results. The main idea supporting this approach is
that the exchange of information among multidisciplinary and inter-institutional
research efforts can lead to new discoveries and query systems that
will increase the efficiency of access the sum of current knowledge.
It is also the policy of the proceedings that published material will
make available additional data for duplication or validation. In this
spirit, the Proc. Virtual. Conf. on Gen. and Bioinf. encourage authors
to follow the adopted non-restrictive, progressive experimental and
data sharing standards in the implementation of their supplementary
material.
