Regional, topical, worldwide - your platform to present science
dedicated to facilitating development for students and young researchers
The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between ISCB and regional non-profit membership groups, centers, institutes and networks that involve researchers from various institutions and/or organizations within a defined geographic region involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. Such groups have regular meetings either in person or online, and an organizing body in the form of a board of directors or steering committee. If you are interested in affiliating your regional membership group, center, institute or network with ISCB, please review these guidelines (.pdf) and send your exploratory questions to Diane E. Kovats, ISCB Chief Executive Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). For information about the Affilliates Committee click here.

This half day tutorial will include two educational elements. W3C's Semantic Web in Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLSIG) brings together many leading bioinformaticists and life scientists to solve a very wide array of data expression/integration problems in terms of modeling, unifying and querying biological data. This work is founded upon the full suite of W3C Semantic Web technology standards that work together to provide a rich semantic toolbox for software and system developers.
The first half of this tutorial will present a nuts-and-bolts introduction to many of the W3C Semantic Web technologies. We will motivate the introductions with use cases and examples taken from the health care and life sciences domains.
The tutorial will cover the following technologies:
Part two of the tutorial explores the latest accomplishments and ongoing projects of the W3C HCLSIG as it continues to develop, advocate for, and support the use of Semantic Web technologies for biological science, translational medicine and health care. The HCLSIG tutorial will present an overview of the activities of each of the current task forces in HCLSIG will be provided, along with a description of how specific Semantic Web technologies are being applied. The tutorial will focus on ways in which participants can both benefit from and contribute to the work of the HCLSIG.
Please check back for more information.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:
|
The ISCB Conference on Semantics in Healthcare and Life Sciences returns for its third year as the premier annual event focused on the use of semantic technologies in the pharmaceutical industry, including hospitals/healthcare institutions and academic research labs.
CSHALS is a single forum for the presentation and discussion of practical semantics-based approaches, including challenges faced and applications that are working. The conference features keynote lectures, invited talks and discussion sessions guided by leaders and visionaries of intelligent systems for drug discovery and development. Rather than a Semantic Web conference, CSHALS is a conference focused on specific applications of semantic technologies to show where advances have been made, determine what the current needs are, and anticipate where the field is headed in order to prepare and advance with the field. The conference is organized along specific topics and moderated to stimulate interactive discussions around sets of key questions determined in advance with input from registered attendees.
CSHALS is intended for anyone already participating in this groundbreaking field, and a pre-conference tutorial is offered to help interested researchers come up to speed on the practical approaches of applying intelligent information technologies in pharmaceutical R&D.
If this describes you, save the date now and follow the website for updates on CSHALS 2010.
Conference participants will take part in discussion sessions that explore answers to technology questions such as the following:
Themes of past CSHALS conferences:
C-SHALS will be preceded by a half day Tutorial focused on the current Semantic Web standard RDF tools to show participants how this technology meets drug development needs.
ISCB Members enjoy discounts on conference registration (up to $150), journal subscriptions, book (25% off), and job center postings (free).
