The series of BIBE Conferences was initiated in 2000 and is the first of its kind in IEEE inspiring others to follow its path. The 16th annual IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering aims at building synergy between Bioinformatics and Bioengineering, two complementary disciplines that hold great promise for the advancement of research and development in complex medical and biological systems, agriculture, environment, public health, drug design. Research and development in these two areas are impacting the science and technology in fields such as medicine, food production, forensics, etc. by advancing fundamental concepts in molecular biology, by helping us understand living organisms at multiple levels, by developing innovative implants and bio-prosthetics, and by improving tools and techniques for the detection, prevention and treatment of diseases. The BIBE series provides a common platform for the cross fertilization of ideas, and for shaping knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging these two very important and complementary disciplines into an interactive and attractive forum.

This workshop invites papers discussing the use of mathematical methods in bioinformatics and biomedical signal analysis. Topics of this workshop include but are not limited to: Gene expression analysis Biological network analysis Biomedical signal analysis Healthcare applications Final decisions will be made by the workshop organizing chair: Kuo-Yi Lin. The proceedings of the invited workshop papers may be published together with the main conference proceedings. The page limit is 6 pages in IEEE double-column format for workshop papers.
