will be held in conjunction with CIKM, one of the largest data and<br>text mining conferences. While CIKM presents the state-of-the-art<br>research in informatics with the primary focus on data<br>and text mining, the main focus of <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 189, 93);color:rgb(34, 34, 34);background-repeat:initial initial">DTMBIO</span> is on biomedical<br>
informatics. <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 189, 93);color:rgb(34, 34, 34);background-repeat:initial initial">DTMBIO</span> delegates will bring forth interesting<br>
applications of up-to-date informatics in the context of biomedical<br>research.<br>Biological researchers face the current challenge of making effective<br>use of the enormous amount of electronic biomedical data in order to<br>
better understand and explain complex biological systems. The<br>biomedical data repositories include data in a wide variety of<br>forms, including bibliographic information from electronic medical<br>journals, gene expression data from Microarray experiments, protein<br>
identification and quantification data from proteomics experiments,<br>genomic sequences gathered by the Human Genome<br>Project, and patient healthcare records. The ability to automatically<br>and effectively extract, integrate, understand and make use of<br>
information embedded in such heterogeneous – structured and<br>unstructured – data remains a challenging task.<br>We invite the submission of papers that propose ways to address the<br>variety of aspects involved in meeting this challenge.<br>
<br><br>The relevant topics include the following (but not limited to):<br>· Proposal and assessment of novel text mining solutions<br>· Information integration for data and text mining<br>· Information extraction from biomedical literature<br>
· Information retrieval for large distributed data collections<br>· Gene sequence annotation<br>· Protein/RNA structure prediction<br>· Gene expression analysis<br>· Algorithms for sequence and structural motif detection<br>
· Modeling of biochemical pathways and biological networks<br>· Image mining in biomedical informatics<br>· Mining multiple information sources in biomedical informatics<br>· Workflow modeling and analysis for drug development, system biology, and<br>
biomedical working processes<br>· Knowledge discovery in electronic medical records<br>· Translational medicine approaches for combining bioinformatics data with<br>clinical information<br>· Anonymization of clinical data<br>
· Creation of biomedical annotated corpora<br><br>Submission Guidelines<br>Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers<br>that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.<br>Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF format and<br>
formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates.<br><br>Full papers:<br>Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and<br>unpublished work. Full papers may consist of up to eight pages. Full<br>papers will be presented at the workshop.<br>

describe original and unpublished work. Short papers will be presented<br>at the workshop, and will be given four pages in the proceedings.<br>All papers (in PDF format) should be submitted to:<br><a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtmbio11" style="color:rgb(53, 66, 88)" target="_blank">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtmbio11</a><br>
