ObjectivesIJDMB aims to publish the latest research and development results and experiences in the areas of bioinformatics, data mining and knowledge discovery, and the role of data mining techniques and methods in integrating and interpreting the bioinformatics data sets and improving effectiveness and/or efficiency and quality for bioinformatics data analysis. The major objective of IJDMB is to stimulate new multidisciplinary research and the development of cutting-edge data mining methods, techniques and tools to solve problems in bioinformatics. The goal is to help readers understand state-of-the-art techniques/algorithms/methods in bioinformatics data gathering, data pre-processing, data mining and data management.ReadershipIJDMB provides a forum to help academics, practitioners, post-graduates and policy makers, working in the area of data mining, data integration and management, bioinformatics, life sciences, healthcare, etc., to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. The intended audiences are data mining researchers/practitioners; bioinformatics specialists in academia and industry; chemists; system biologists/molecular biologists who rely on computer tools for data integration, data management, data analysis; mathematicians/statisticians who are interested in model development and simulation for life science data; computer scientists; post-graduate students with interests in developing and/or applying novel algorithms/methods in biology/biomedical domains.ContentsIJDMB publishes original research papers (long and short papers, exploratory papers), review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference/workshop reports, application notes, book reviews, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in data mining and bioinformatics selected from top related conferences such as IEEE CSB, IEEE BIBE, PSB, RECOMB, ISMB, BIOKDD workshop etc., will occasionally be published.
