%justify% ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedicine (ACM BCB) is the main flagship conference of the ACM SIG Bioinformatics. ACM BCB 2012 is in its third year, building upon the success of ACM BCB 2010 in Niagara Falls and ACM BCB 2011 in Chicago. Each of the conference had about 200 attendees. ACM BCB 2011 will be held in Orlando from October 7-10, 2012.\\
The conference will provide a premier forum for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research encompassing disciplines of computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine. The last two decades have led to a tremendous growth in the size and dimensionality of biological and biomedical data. This conference serves to provide information on leading edge in research in processing, modeling and analyzing these datasets for a variety of applications.\\
Examples of the topics that will be covered include:
* Genomics and Evolution
* Protein and RNA Structure, Protein Function, and Proteomics
* Computational Systems Biology
* Next Generation Sequencing Data
* Medical Informatics and Translational Bioinformatics
* Cross-Cutting Computational Methods
* Bioinformatics Infrastructure
* Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology
* Computational Epidemiology
* Image Analysis
* Knowledge Representation and Inference
