Description |
|
| Background and Aims NETTAB 2013 is the thirteenth in a series of international workshops on Network Tools and Applications in Biology aimed at presenting and discussing emerging ICT technologies whose adoption in support of biology could be of particular interest. In the NETTAB 2013 workshop, mobile and/or social and/or semantic solutions for bioinformatics and laboratory informatics problems will be explored. A savvy combination of these three technologies could greatly enhance the research outcome of life scientists and markedly simplify the workflows in biomedical laboratories. Confirmed Keynote speakers Title to be announced Barend Mons, Leiden University Medical Center, and Netherlands Bioinformatics Center, The Netherlands Facilitating Scientific Discovery through Crowdsourcing and Distributed Participation Antony Williams, Royal Society of Chemistry Semantic, Social, and Mobile technologies for the automation of research in biomedicine Ross D. King, University of Manchester, United Kingdom Confirmed Tutorials Semantic Web for Life Sciences: vision, aims, tools, platforms Andrea Splendiani, IntelLeaf, United Kingdom, and Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Ireland Open_PHACTS and NanoPublications Speaker to be confirmed Standards for Web Applications on Mobile: current state and roadmap Dominique Hazael-Massieux, W3C/ERCIM, France Mobile applications for life sciences: perspectives, limitations, and real examples Alex Clark, Molecular Materials Informatics, Inc Call for Abstracts Abstracts on all aspects of the focus theme, including issues, methods, algorithms, and technologies for the design and development of tools and platforms able to provide Semantic, Social, And Mobile (SeSaMo) applications supporting bioinformatics and the activities carried out in a biomedical laboratory are welcome. A list of topics is available in the workshop web site. The following contribution types are planned: Oral communications, Industrial-Technological communications, Posters. DEADLINES • July 5, 2013: Abstract submission deadline for Oral communications • July 31, 2013: Abstract submission deadline for Posters • September 13, 2013: Early registration deadline TOPICS We are looking for abstracts on all aspects of the focus theme, including issues, methods, algorithms, and technologies for the design and development of tools and platforms able to provide Semantic, Social, and Mobile (SeSaMo) applications supporting bioinformatics and the activities carried out in a biomedical laboratory. An extended list of topics is available at http://www.nettab.org/2013/call.php . INSTRUCTIONS We welcome structured abstracts for oral communications, industrial-technological communications, and posters. Abstracts for oral communications and Industrial-technological communications should be between 3 and 4 pages, including no more than TWO tables / figures. Abstracts for posters should be between 2 and 3 pages, including no more than ONE table or figure. All abstracts should include the following sections: Motivation and Objectives, Methods, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgements, References. Accepted abstracts will be included in the Proceedings of the workshop, that will be published in a Supplement of EMBnet.journal. Full papers from abstracts presented at NETTAB 2013 will be published in a peer-review, indexed, international journal that will soon be announced.
