JOURNAL OF VLSI SIGNAL PROCESSING
CALL FOR PAPERS
GENOMIC SIGNAL PROCESSING
YU-PING WANG, YU HENG HU, GUEST EDITORS
Dramatic advances in genome research (i.e., the sequencing of the
human genome and DNA microarray/gene chip technology) in recent years
have produced huge volumes of data, offering great potential for
diagnosis of disease and drug discovery. The acquisition, storage,
analysis, and visualization of these abundant data require the state
of the art computing techniques and thus give rise to many challenging
problems. They also offer exciting opportunities for the design of new
signal/image processing theories and algorithms. Signal processing
techniques have been playing an important role in this
cross-disciplinary area of bioinformatics, with significant impact on
the science of bio-medical imaging and diagnosis of disease.
We invite submission of manuscripts that address the state of the art
of genomic data analysis using novel signal/image processing
approaches. Suggested topics include:
* Genomic image data compression
* Gene expression pattern comparison using statistical signal processing
approaches
* Developing high-resolution imaging methods for gene data acquisition
* Novel signal/image models for genomic data representations and
visualization
* Neural network and other data mining techniques in the gene expression
data clustering
* Automated spot identification and segmentation methods in microarray image
analysis
* Pattern classification for chromosome, FISH and M-FISH images
* High-throughput hardware/software to large scale genome computation
The special issue will give particular attention to contributions
describing signal-processing methods with a thorough clinical
evaluation. VLSI Signal processing seeks high quality research papers
for this special issue. The use of signal/image processing approaches
in the genomic data analysis should be well motivated with respect to
medical significance. The advantages of signal processing based tools
should be emphasized.
All authors should submit five copies of their manuscripts and figures
by December 1, 2002 to the editorial office, with an indication on
this special issue. The instruction for authors is available at the
journal's website (http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0922-5773).
Authors intending to submit articles are encouraged to discuss their
submissions with the Guest Editors.
SCHEDULE:
Submission of manuscripts: December 1, 2002
Acceptance/rejection notification: March 1, 2003
Revised manuscript: May 1, 2003
Publication: late 2003 (tentative)

This is to announce the availability of CAGED (Cluster Analysis of
Gene Expression Dynamics) Version 1.0 for MS Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP).
CAGED is a computer program for cluster analysis of gene expression
data collected through microarray experiments.
CAGED implements a Bayesian clustering method designed to handle
temporal experiments and subsuming standard independent experiments as
a special case. The method implemented by CAGED is described in:
M. Ramoni, P. Sebastiani and I. Kohane. Cluster Analysis of Gene
Expression Dynamics. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. Published online before
print on June 24, 2002.
CAGED 1.0 requires MS Windows 9x/NT/ME/2000/XP,512MB RAM (1GB
recommended) and 20MB of free disk space.
CAGED is developed by the Children's Hospital Informatics Program,
Harvard Medical School and the Department of Mathematics and
Statistics, University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The program is

ECCBR 2002 is the 6th European Conference on Case-Based
Reasoning. This four day conference will be held at The Robert Gordon
University in Scotland's granite city, Aberdeen. The program will
start with the ECCBR Industry Day and three workshops on 4 September,
followed by the three day conference of invited talks, presentations
and posters on both theoretical and applied research in CBR.
Presentations will range widely across subjects concerning case-based
reasoning (e.g., adaptation, applications, case knowledge maintenance,
e-commerce, interactive systems, knowledge acquisition, knowledge
management, learning, multiagent collaborative systems,
representations, similarity, soft computing, textual CBR) that should
interest both practitioners and researchers alike. The accepted
papers are listed on the conference website, and outlines of Industry
Day and the workshops will appear soon. The conference site also lists
suggested accommodations, conference organization details, travel
hints and other related information.
The deadline for the early conference registration fee is Friday 19 July
2002. The hotel deadline for blocked rooms is Friday, 12 July 2002;
hotel prices may rise after this deadline.
Please see the conference website for the registration form and
