Bioinformatics,, Systems Biology and Intelligent Computing are synergistic disciplines that hold great promise for the advancement of research and development in designing intelligent systems to solve engineering practice problems as well as translational bioinformatics problems. Research and development in these areas are impacting the science and technology and the synergies among these disciplines are potentially enormous. International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Intelligent Computing (IJCBS) aims to provide a common platform for the cross fertilization of ideas, and to help shape knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging these very important disciplines into an interactive and attractive forum. Keeping this objective in mind, IJCBS solicits original contributions in the following non exclusive lists of areas.
