Call for Papers: International Conference on Computational Biology
ICCB 2007
From: International Association of Engineers (IAENG)

San Francisco, USA, 24-26 October, 2007
http://www.iaeng.org/WCECS2007/ICCB2007.html

The conference ICCB'07 is held under the World Congress on Engineering
2007. The WCECS 2007 is organized by the International Association of
Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the
engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on
the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and
computer science subjects. Our last IAENG conference has attracted
more than one thousand participants from over 50 countries, and our
IAENG conference committees have been formed with over two hundred
committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans,
department heads, professors, and research scientists from
universities like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley and Yale
etc.

The conference proceedings will be published by IAENG (ISBN:
978-988-98671-6-4) in hardcopy. The full-text congress proceeding will
be indexed in major database indexes so that it can be assessed
easily. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in
the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters and other IAENG
journals. Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may also
be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the
framework of cooperation between IAENG and Springer.

Important Dates:
Draft Paper Submission Deadline: 6 July, 2007
Camera-Ready Papers Due & Registration Deadline: 30 July, 2007

process is to ensure the quality of the accepted papers in the WCE
congress. The conferences have enjoyed high reputation among many
research colleagues ( for example, see the http://cs.conference-ranking.net/
or http://www.conference-ranking.com/ or http://www.conference-ranking.org/cs.html
).

It is our target that the reviewing process and the result
notification for each submitted manuscript can be completed within one
month from its submission. The reviewing process is to ensure the
