Join us in Corvallis, OR, USA, | August 1-4, 2016
www.icbo-conference.org
Joint meeting of the annual International Conference on Biological Ontology (ICBO) and BioCreative 2016 aims to foster discussion, exchange, and innovation in research and development in the areas of Biomedical Ontology (including plants, agriculture, environment and biomes).
First call for papers
The conference Program Committee is soliciting submissions of novel (not previously published nor concurrently submitted) research papers that describe major advances in the field of biological and biomedical ontologies, report and/or discuss a new ontology, a major revision or extension to an existing ontology, new applications of an existing ontology or a potentially new ontology, a substantial critique of an existing ontology with a proposed alternative approach, the result of applying an ontology - for example, data interoperability, data sharing, BIG-data analysis, high-throughput methods, novel analytical reasoners, annotated resources, etc.
Submission Process
There are separate guidelines and submission portals for ICBO and BioCreative. Therefore, please follow the instructions carefully on the conference website.
How to select between ICBO and BioCreative submission?
If you are submitting the papers and abstracts on ontologies and related applications, ICBO is your choice. For machine learning and text mining of biological data, your choice is BioCreative. If the work includes both (machine learning, text mining, and ontologies) please select the ICBO for paper/poster submission.
