This will be the 34th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing, held in Limassol (Cyprus) from 8th to 12th of August 2019. I am pleased to be part of the organizing committee of the bioinformatics track, together with Paola Lecca and Dan Tulpan.  This internationally renowned congress will once again bring together great researchers in the field of applied programming.

The ACM SAC 2019 Bioinformatics Track aims to promote current advances in life sciences by using analytical methods that integrate mathematical, physical and computer sciences. The papers for this session must address a problem in the field of biology and their solution must be obtained through the application of computational methods (analysis, modelling and simulation).

The deadline for the submission of papers is September 10th, 2018. The publication rules can be found here.

If you have any queries you can e-mail me, and I will be happy to help. We look forward to receiving your work!
