<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Lato",sans-serif;color:#202020">The size and complexity of genomic and biomedical big data continue to grow at a exponential pace, and the analysis of these complex, noisy, data sets demands efficient algorithms
and high performance computing architectures. Hence, high-performance computing (HPC) has become an integral part of research and development in bioinformatics, computational biology, and medical and health informatics. The goal of the HiCOMB workshop is to
showcase novel HPC research and technologies to solve data- and compute-intensive problems arising from all areas of computational life sciences. The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Lato",sans-serif;color:#202020">For peer-reviewed papers, we invite authors to submit original and previously unpublished work that are at the <em><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">intersection</span></em> of
the "pillars" of modern day computational life sciences and HPC. More specifically, we encourage submissions from all areas of biology that can benefit from HPC, and from all areas of HPC that need new development to address the class of computational problems
that originate from biology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

indexed and archived as part of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library). If the authors choose <em><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">not </span></em>to make it part of the proceedings, then the paper will <em><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">not </span></em>be
considered archival. In either case, all accepted papers will be posted online on the workshop website, and all accepted papers (archived or not) will need to have an oral presentation at the workshop by one of the authors of the paper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
