With the advent of high-throughput technologies, a huge amount of biological data has been
generated, which brings profound influences on bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is experiencing
a new era from conventional analysis to big data analytics. Cloud computing is promising to
address big data storage and analysis issues in the field of bioinformatics. The goal of the
workshop on “Big Data and Cloud Computing in Bioinformatics (BDACCB2016)” is to establish an
international forum for engineers and scientists to present their ideas and experiences in
the fields of big data analytics and cloud computing related to bioinformatics.

BDACCB2016 welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from researchers in big data and cloud computing
in bioinformatics. Submissions should be prepared using IEEE Computer Society’s Word/LaTeX templates
available at http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting
and should not exceed 6 pages in length.
Please send your manuscript with supplements to the e-mail (bdaccb@126.com) before July 1, 2016. Accepted
abstracts will be included in the the proceeding of 6th IEEE International Conference on Big Data and
Cloud Computing and be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The excellent papers will be
recommended to submit a substantially extended version for review and publication in special issues of
international journals:
• Information Fusion (Elsevier and SCI indexed)
• Journal of Computational Science(Elsevier and SCI indexed)
• IEEE Transactions on Emerging topics in Computing
• IEEE Transactions on Big Data
• Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier and SCI)
