See link above for additional information. Papers will be published in the conference proceedings and in a special issue of of the journal
Bioinformatics. The following description of topic areas is from the conference web page:

"SMB/ECCB 2007 will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. Papers that demonstrate both the development of new computational techniques AND their application, with significant outcomes, to biomedical, agricultural, and environmental questions are especially encouraged.

We are soliciting high-quality original research papers in any aspect of computational biology, including the following areas (area chairs noted within parenthesis):

Sequence Analysis and Alignment (Des Higgins, Anders Gorm Pedersen)
Evolution and Phylogeny (Manolo Gouy, Tandy Warnow)
Comparative Genomics (Michal Linial, Manolis Kellis)
Gene Regulation and Transcriptomics (Olga Troyanskaya)
Protein Structure (Nir Ben-Tal)
Protein Function (Erik Sonnhammer)
Protein Interactions and Molecular Networks (Joel Bader, Alfonso Valencia)
Databases and Ontologies (Robert Stevens, Helen Parkinson)
Text Mining (Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann, Christian Blaschke)
Bioinformatics of Disease (Yanay Ofran, Predrag Raivojac)
Other (Rick Lathrop)

New techniques are especially encouraged. Existing relevant computational techniques include, but are not limited to: machine learning; data mining; text analysis; pattern recognition; knowledge representation; databases; data modeling; combinatorics; stochastic modeling; string and graph algorithms; linguistic methods; robotics; constraint satisfaction; data visualization; parallel computation; data integration; modelling and simulation."
