Massive parallel <br>clusters, distributed technologies, on-Chip solutions such as GPGPU and <br>Xeon Phi must be exploited with adequate algorithmic solutions to reach <br>their full potential. <br><br>The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers interested in <br>cutting-edge methods to address the challenges posed by the huge amount <br>of data produced in omics science. The idea is to present the latest <br>advancements concerning High Performance Computing solutions required <br>to treat multi-omics data and the related Big Data paradigms that are needed <br>to manage the large-scale challenges of current computational biology. <br><br>Examples of relevant areas of interest within this context include - but are not <br>limited to -<br><br>- Next-Generation Sequencing data analysis and interpretation, <br>- Genomics patterns identification and mining, <br>- Transcriptomics and Proteomics data integration, <br>- Systems Biology models simulation and optimization, <br>- Structural Biology and Molecular Dynamics, <br>- Synthetic Biology circuits design and simulation.<br><br><br>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<br><br><a href="http://www.cussb.unisr.it/cibb2014/calls.html#submissions">http://www.cussb.unisr.it/cibb2014/calls.html#submissions</a><br><br>Papers should be submitted in PDF format on the Easy Chair conference system. <br>Paper length should be at least 4 pages and should not exceed 6 pages. <br>Papers are required to be structured according to the following five sections:<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• 1.
