You are invited to submit a paper; see below for submission instructions. All accepted papers will be published in a research book entitled "Advances in Computational Biology". This book will be published by Springer (in book series, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, AEMB). AEMB Springer series is indexed in Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, CSA, Biological Sciences & Living Resources, Biological Sciences, & others.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to: http://springer.cviog.uga.edu

Submissions must be received by October 14, 2009 and must be in either, MS doc or pdf format. A typical submission would be about 9 pages long (but papers can be between 5 to 14 pages). At this point, all reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable; however, authors of accepted papers will later be asked to follow a particular typesetting format/instructions to prepare their papers for publication/press, see http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0

Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. However, we will consider and encourage submissions that are the extended versions of already published conference papers (the general rule is that submissions have about 40% new material). The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, authors' names, their affiliations, city and country.
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper (the keywords should be selected from the list of topics that appear at the beginning of this announcement.)

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, impact, soundness, and good English write-up. Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field. The referees' evaluations will then be reviewed by the editors who will recommend a decision.

Questions should be sent to Editorial Board - Advances in Computational Biology: ed-springer@springer.cviog.uga.edu
