Call for papers and posters
 
The 2019 Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop (CSBW)
 
Niagara Falls, New York, September 7-10, 2019
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~bioinfo/index.html <http://www.cs.odu.edu/~bioinfo/index.html>
 
The 2019 Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop will be held in conjunction with ACM-BCB. The rapid accumulation of macromolecular structures presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities in the analysis, comparison, modeling, and prediction of macromolecular structures and interactions. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology, structural biology, data mining, machine learning, optimization, and high-performance computing to discuss new results, techniques, and research problems in computational structural bioinformatics.
 
CSBW invites high-quality original papers and posters on developments in computational problems relating to molecular structure.Authors of accepted papers will be provided approximately 20 minutes to provide an oral summary of their work, with time for questions. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop to present the paper. Registration to CSBW is complementary with registration to ACM-BCB 2019.
 
Important dates: 
Paper submission deadline: June 15, 2019
Notifications sent to authors: July 1, 2019  
Camera-ready paper submission: July 8, 2019
Poster (2-page abstract) submission deadline: August 20, 2019
Workshop at ACM-BCB Conference: September 7-10, 2019
 
Full manuscripts and poster abstracts are being accepted. Both will be published in the conference proceedings. Submitted paper manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, and poster abstracts not to exceed 2 pages (see ACM templates athttps://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>). Submissions are via easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbw2019 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbw2019>.
 
Journal Special Issue:
Selected submissions will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in a special issue in MDPI Molecules. Journals used in previous years included the International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics (2007), BMC Structural Biology (2009, 2012) the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (2011), Journal of Computational Biology (2015, 2016) and Molecules (2017, 2018). 
 
CSBW also seeks 2-page poster abstracts on developments or significant works in progress towards computational problems relating to molecular structure. Posters sessions will expand scientific dialogue at the workshop and train students in scientific communication. Authors of accepted posters will have unhurried opportunities to communicate their results in poster sessions taking place during the workshop. All accepted papers and poster abstracts will be published in the ACM digital library in the proceedings of the ACM-BCB Conference.
 
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Structure representation
- Structure prediction
- Structure alignment
- Interaction and docking
- Molecular dynamics simulations
