From paolo.romano at istge.it Tue Feb 20 05:41:50 2007 From: paolo.romano at istge.it (Paolo Romano) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 11:41:50 +0100 Subject: [Biosoap-l] Final Call for Papers NETTAB 2007 Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.0.20070220114143.01e5bd10@istge.it> ================================= Apologies, if you're receiving multiple copies ================================= Final Call for Papers 7th International Workshop NETTAB 2007 June 12-15, 2006 Department of Computer Science, University of Pisa, Pisa http://www.nettab.org/2007/ FOCUS THEME A Semantic Web for Bioinformatics: Goals, Tools, Systems, Applications ADJUNCT THEMES Algorithms in bioinformatics Formal Methods for Systems Biology Network Tools and Applications in Bioinformatics AIMS This workshop aims at getting together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists and linguists to try to answer the following questions: - Is the Semantic Web of some use for Bioinformatics? - Which goals should have a Semantic Web for Bioinformatics? - Which standards, technologies and tools of the Semantic Web can most profitably be used in Bioinformatics? - Which application did the Semantic Web already find in Bioinformatics? - Which current Bioinformatics research problems can be solved by the Semantic Web? - Which are the short, medium and long term perspectives in applying Semantic Web technologies to Bionformatics? The workshop also intends to: - introduce the basic knowledge of related standards and technologies, in a non trivial way through invited lectures and tutorials - outline the promising features of the Semantic Web in bioinformatics through invited lectures and open discussion - show some valuable examples in bioinformatics through invited lectures, oral communications and posters - support as much discussion as possible through open discussions and a panel discussion - practically demonstrate "how it works" through tutorials INVITED SPEAKERS We are extremely glad to inform you that four excellent speakers have accepted to give an invited lecture at next NETTAB workshop. + Session on Goals of the Semantic Web in Bioinformatics Invited speaker: Eric Neumann, Co-chair of the Health Care and Life Science Interest Group of the Semantic Web Activity at W3C & Teranode Inc., USA + Session on Semantic Web Standards and Technologies Invited speaker: Guus Schreiber, Chair of Semantic Web Deployment Interest Group at W3C & University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands + Session on Semantic Web Tools Invited speaker: Olivier Bodenreider, Medical Ontology Research, National Library of Medicine, USA + Session on Applications of Semantic Web in Bioinformatics Invited speakers: Michael Schroeder, Biotec TU Dresden, Germany, and Albert Burger, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, UK Titles of the lectures will soon be announced. TOPICS NETTAB workshops also include general sessions on Network Tools and Applications in Biology and adjunct focus topics selected by local organizers. You are therefore welcome to submit your work on any of the followings topics: Goals of a Semantic Web for Bioinformatics: Standards, Technologies, Tools for the Semantic Web Systems for a Semantic Web for Bioinformatics: Existing and perspective applications of the Semantic Web for Bioinformatics Algorithms in Bioinformatics Formal Methods for Systems Biology Network Tools and Applications in Bioinformatics DEADLINES Submission of oral communications: March 16, 2007 Proposals for tutorials: March 16, 2007 Submission of posters: April 20, 2007 Early Registration Deadline: April 27, 2007 SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS You are welcome to submit your contributions through the MyReview system at the following URL: http://www.nettab.org/2007/myreview/ . This is a two steps submission procedure. You will have to submit first an abstract and later the paper. You are invited to prepare your contribution according to instructions available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbioinformatics/ifora/ (specially, see "Preparing main manuscript text" section). See the workshop's web site for more details about the preparation of the papers. PUBLICATION OF PAPERS AND POSTERS All accepted oral communications and posters will be published in the Workshop's Proceedings that will be distributed to all participants. Selected papers will be published by BMC Bioinformatics as a Supplement Issue. When submitting, you will be asked if your submission is intended for the workshop only or for the publication in BMC Bioinformatics too. The papers will be reviewed by the members of the Programme Committee. They will decide whether the papers are accepted for the workshop only or for the publication in BMC Bioinformatics as well. The workshop will engage itself to pay part of the cost of the publication, but please be advised that depending on the final budget of the workshop you could be requested to contribute to publication costs which has been set to 600 British pounds per paper. For any further information or clarification, please contact the organization by email at info at nettab.org . CHAIRS P. Romano, Bioinformatics, Natl Cancer Research Inst., Italy M.
