Submission site:

https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/ (please select BSB 2008)

BSB2008 will accept two kinds of contributions: full papers or extended abstracts, on two tracks:

1. computational biology and bioinformatics,

2. multiagent systems applications on computational biology and bioinformatics.

Full papers may have up to 12 pages; extended abstracts can have at most 4 pages.

Accepted full papers are expected to be presented orally during the symposium. Extended abstract authors will present their work in a poster during the symposium.

The program committee may acccept as "extended abstract" a paper originally submitted as full.

Authors of such submissions will have the choice of accepting this decision and modifying their manuscript accordingly, or retracting the submission.

Conference proceedings (including accepted full papers and extended abstracts) will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series and in a CD with ISBN, as in 2005 and 2007.

There will be a best paper award.

Submissions must be done electronically.

ALL manuscripts MUST be written in ENGLISH and include an abstract. The format to be used is "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS). 

All the explanations and necessary files for this format can be found here. In this site, information and files for authors using both TeX/LaTeX and MS Word can be found.

We urge all prospective authors to download the necessary files from this site as they prepare their submissions for BSB 2008; old versions of the LNCS style files may cause us problems.

For full papers, manuscript length (including all figures, tables, and references) should not exceed 12 pages.

For extended abstracts, manuscript length (including all figures, tables, and references) should not exceed 4 pages.

Manuscripts that deviate from these guidelines may risk rejection without consideration of scientific merit.
