This year's sessions include Software Interoperability (a joint session with BSI-SIG, the Bioinformatics Software Interoperability SIG) , Cloud and Parallel Computing, Linked Data and Translational Knowledge Discovery, and a panel discussion--Bioinformatics Paper Reviews: Openness of Standards and Standards of Openness. Keynote speakers are Jonathan Eisen and Carole Goble.

There will be room for a few last-minute lightning abstracts and posters. If you'd like your abstract to appear in the BOSC program, please submit it by June 4. See http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2012#Submitting_Abstracts for more information.
