Call for Papers
Abstracts for contributed oral and poster presentations to be presented at IBC Kobe 2012 can be submitted online from 10 November 2011 until 15 January 2012 inclusive.
The mission of the IBS is "to promote the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science and public health, ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, and allied disciplines." Contributions at the conference are therefore welcome across a wide range of both methodological topics and application areas relevant to the mission of the IBS.
The following list provides an indication of the areas that have been covered at previous conferences and will be covered at the coming conference, but these should not limit what you submit.
Agricultural research Analysis of imaging and signal data Bayesian methods Biological networks Categorical data analysis Causal inference in clinical and epidemiological research Computer intensive methods and software development Design and analysis of clinical trials Design and analysis of toxicology and pharmacology Ecological research (including forestry, fisheries and wild life) Environmental research Epidemiological research Epidemiological research for radiation exposure Genetic research (non human) Genetic research (human) Infectious diseases and control Longitudinal data analysis / mixed effects model Measurement and analysis of radioactivity and radiation exposure Medical research (including diagnostics research and medical decision making) Microarrays and omics data Missing and incomplete data Multiple testing and adjustments for multiplicity Pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing research / outcome research Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics Risk analysis and risk management Spatial data analysis Statistical graphics Survival data analysis Validity and reliability of measurements Other
All abstracts must be submitted online and prepared using the Word (97-03) templates which can be downloaded from this web-page.
Click here to download the Word template.
Each abstract submission must include the title, list of authors and author affiliations, and abstract (as indicated in the template), with each submission having a maximum length of one page of A4 using the fonts specified in the templates. Authors are requested to select the area(s) of the abstract from a list of possible session topics (given above). The number of oral abstract submission with the same presenting author is limited to one.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee for the conference, and presenting authors will be informed of the status of their abstract (oral session, poster session, rejection) by 31 March 2012.
All contributed oral presentations will be allocated to a 15-minute slot within a particular scientific session, with each session lasting 105 minutes and therefore containing 6 oral presentations and time for discussion. All poster presentations will also be allocated to a particular scientific session throughout which it is expected that the presenting author will be present at their poster.
All presenting authors must have registered for the IBC by 15 June 2012 for their abstract to be included in the Programme.
Following on from the success of the awards made at the last three IBCs, we will again be awarding prizes for the Best Student Oral Presentation(s) and the Best Poster Presentation(s).
