The IAENG International Conference on Bioinformatics (ICB'07) will take place in Hong Kong, 21-23 March, 2007.
 
     
 

The conference ICB'07 is held under the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2007. The IMECS 2007 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), and serves as good platforms for the engineering community members to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The last conference in 2006 has attracted a total of over four hundred participants from over 30 countries. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-4-0). The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books of the series "Lecture Notes in Engineering and Computer Science".
