Call for Papers

HPCLife 2006
High Performance Computing on the Life Sciences
http://www.fisiocomp.ufjf.br

held in conjunction with the IEEE SBAC-PAD 2006

You are invited to submit papers to the HPCLife 2006. Life sciences and
biology encompass research and development in many areas such as
biophysics, biochemistry, biology, physiology, biomedicine, and
environmental sciences. Increasingly, the tasks, applications and computer
systems involved in these research areas are based on large amount of data
and on complex models, posing considerable requirements for computing
power and storage resources. To cope with these demands, computational
systems increasingly integrate different facets of high performance
computing, such as parallel computing, distributed computing, grid
computing, and dedicated hardware and computer architecture (such as FPGA
and GPU).

The HPCLife’s goal is to facilitate exchange of ideas and collaborations
between computer scientists, mathematicians, biomedical engineers,
biologists and life scientists that apply high performance computing in
the context of computational biology and bioinformatics.
The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of the latest research in
developing high-performance computing solutions to problems found in
modeling, analysis and exploration of all aspects of life sciences,
ranging from effects on the molecular level to complex interactions
networks. Contributions of interest will address topics related to the
development, deployment, application and evaluation of distributed,
high-performance and dedicated hardware technologies in the context of the
following computational biology and bioinformatics areas:

*Analysis, modeling and simulation of processes like pathways, protein
interactions, and whole systems;
*Large-scale (storage, computation, components/systems) studies in
computational biology and bioinformatics;
*Visualization and image management and processing of biological data;
*Linkage and sequence analysis;
*Molecule design and molecular dynamics;
*Protein folding and unfolding;
*Information retrieval and knowledge discovery including data and text
mining;
