Abstract

High&#8211;performance computing is an integral part of research and development in bioinformatics/computational biology and medical and health informatics&#046; The large size and complexity of biological data sets, and inherent complexity of the underlying biological problems have collectively resulted in large run&#8211;time and memory requirements&#046; The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in developing high&#8211;performance computing solutions to data&#8211; and compute&#8211;intensive problems arising from all areas of computational life sciences&#046; We are especially interested in parallel and distributed algorithms, memory&#8211;efficient algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, including approaches for big data and cloud computing, algorithms on multicores, manycores and GPUs, and design of high&#8211;performance software and hardware for biological applications&#046;<br>The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field&#046;<br>Topics of interest include but are not limited to:<br>Bioinformatic databases<br>Computational genomics and metagenomics<br>Computational proteomics and metaproteomics<br>DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping<br>Gene expression analysis with RNASeq and microarrays<br>Gene identification and annotation<br>Parallel algorithms for biological sequence analysis<br>Parallel architectures for biological applications<br>Molecular evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms<br>Protein structure prediction and modeling<br>Parallel algorithms in chemical genetics and chemical informatics<br>High performance algorithms for systems biology<br>Big data solutions for systems biology<br>Cloud&#8211;enabled solutions for computational biology<br>Energy&#8211;aware high performance biological applications<br>
