We seek original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on the application of Parallelism to any possible Bioinformatics problem. In particular, contributions are solicited on, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Parallel and distributed algorithms in Bioinformatics. - Workload partitioning strategies in Bioinformatics. - Memory-efficient algorithms in Bioinformatics. - Parallel tools and applications in Bioinformatics. - Data-intensive Bioinformatics (including Big Data storage and processing). - Multicore computing in Bioinformatics. - Multithreaded computing in Bioinformatics. - Cluster computing in Bioinformatics. - Supercomputing in Bioinformatics. - Cloud/Grid/P2P computing in Bioinformatics. - Volunteer computing in Bioinformatics. - Hardware accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, etc.) in Bioinformatics. - Heterogeneous computing in Bioinformatics. - Green computing in Bioinformatics. - Mobile computing in Bioinformatics. - Emerging parallel programming models in Bioinformatics. - Parallel performance evaluation, analysis, and optimization in Bioinformatics. - Parallel visualization, modelling, simulation, and exploration in Bioinformatics.
With regard to the Bioinformatics problems, many different alternatives exist: bioinformatics applied to biomedicine and drug design; biological sequence analysis, comparison and alignment; motif, gene and signal recognition/discovery; molecular evolution; phylogenetics and phylogenomics; determination or prediction of the structure of RNA and protein; DNA twisting and folding; gene expression and gene regulatory networks; deduction of metabolic pathways; microarray design and analysis; proteomics; functional genomics; molecular docking; design of DNA sequences for molecular computing; etc.
