Submission Deadline February 21, 2011

Requests for late submission may be sent to glbio@iscb.org for committee
consideration.

This call for Invited Session is an invitation to scientists and professionals working in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology to submit high quality presentations at the 2011 Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference (GLBIO 2011).

Invited sessions have time slots of (1) one hour in length.
Sessions can cover a broad range of topics relating to research in bioinformatics and computational biology. The purpose of these sessions is to bring together people with common interests to discuss defined topics. The format can include multiple research presentations and ample discussion time, or even a panel discussion.

How to submit: Submit a written proposal (up to two-pages in length) including the following:

Main topic area and description of the topic/session
Topic relevance to the GLBIO community
Reasons for planning a session on this topic
List of topics for possible presentations with up to one-paragraph descriptions of each
Draft time schedule for the Session
List of any invited speakers
Qualifications/experience of submitter for organizing a session

Please save the template file using the session type and submitter last name. For example...if the first person submitting the proposal is John Doe, then save to “invitedsessiondoe.pdf” and submit the file via the submissions website at: http://www.iscb.org/submissions/index.php?id=89

Financial constraints: Session chairs and speakers must pay their expenses including registration to participate at the meeting. Therefore, the organizers highly encourage Session organizers to seek independent funding, and to include any commitment that they may have secured in the proposal. GLBIO will help in the administrative aspects of assigning the rooms, announcements and adding the detailed schedule to the conference program. Note that GLBIO cannot financially support the speakers or the Session organizers.

Notification date: All submissions will be evaluated by a committee and submitters will be notified Tuesday, March 21, 2011 if the session has been selected for presentation at the GLBIO2011 Conference. Following notification of acceptance, the detailed schedule, names and affiliations of speakers, presentation titles and short abstracts will be required to be submitted before April 11, 2011 for inclusion in printed materials.
