First Announcement

2017 International Forum on Intelligent Supercomputing and Biopharmaceutical Innovation (ISBI-2017) is scheduled to be held during December 16-18, 2017 at Jiangmen City of Guangdong province in China. The conference invites all the participants across the globe to attend and share their insights and convey recent developments in the fields of intelligent high-performance computing (HPC) and biopharmaceutical research and development. ISBI-2017 aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of HPC, artificial intelligence (AI), and their applications in biomedical science and technology. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of HPC-supported algorithms, big data process, machine learning, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, drug design, and their applications in biomedical researches. ISBI-2017 is jointly hosted by Wuyi University, Guangdong High Performance Computing Society, National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou and, organized by Biopharmaceutical Committee of Guangdong High Performance Computing Society, Guangdong Supercomputing and Health-industry Big Data Application Alliance, National Hi-tech Zone Administrative Committee in Jiangmen city, Schools of Data and Computer Sciences of Wuyi University, Guangdong Province Key Laboratory of Computational Science and Guangdong Province Computational Mathematical Society. It is expected that there will be about 200 participants for this forum.The conference accepts registration through e-mail before November 30, 2017.
