Description |
|
| Dear Colleagues: We are excited to announce this unique interdisciplinary workshop at the premier ICWS conference on the emerging issues arising from the interplay of service-oriented Internet technologies with bio-medical research and applications. This is expected to be a world-class forum bringing together both computer and domain scientists and practitioners, featuring papers reviewed by the high-caliber program committee we have assembled as well as keynote/invited talks and panel/tutorial discussions on hot topics. The papers will be published by IEEE CS Press (hardcopy and online). Please encourage your students and colleagues to submit 5-page extended abstacts (deadline: March 10, 2007). Details are in the CFP below. Program Co-Chairs: Phil Bourne, University of California, San Diego Shamkant B. Navathe, Georgia Institute of Technology Sushil K. Prasad, Georgia State University Call for Papers The Ist IEEE International Workshop on Service Oriented Technologies for Biological Databases and Tools (SOBDAT 2007)http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~hipc/sobdat07/ In conjunction with ICWS/SCC 2007 9-13 July 2007, Salt Lake City, Utah Important Dates: 5-Page Extended Abstract Submission Deadline: April 2, 2007 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due (8 pages): May 1, 2007 Integration of data sources and tools, and performing computations on them is one of the key problems for using the data from experimental biology today. However, these resources are highly diverse in nature in terms of representation, data formats, and computer systems and are distributed across the network. Although this broad spectrum of information is accessible over the Web, each data source comes with its own structure, semantics, data formats, names, concepts, and access methods. Currently, the burden falls on the scientist to manually (via programs) convert between the data formats, resolve conflicts, integrate data, and interpret results in order to make viable use of this information. This workshop will provide a forum to bring together researches and practitioners working to solve these challenges in biological data and tools using service oriented technologies. Submission Instructions: The SOBDAT 2007 invites submission of high quality papers by the submission deadline of March 10, 2007. Original unpublished manuscripts in IEEE format (pdf or doc file) should be submitted electronically at ICWS 2007 Workshop Management System (http://www.servicesscience.org/scw07/). All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. All accepted papers will be published as a single volume of proceedings encompassing all the workshops (held in conjunction with ICWS-2007) to be published by IEEE Computer Society and will also be available online in the IEEE explorer digital library. Submissions are specially invited on the following topics, but the scope is not limited to these. We also encourage the submission of survey and case study papers. Topics: - Challenges, solutions, and methodologies in providing web services interfaces to biological data sources and tools - Methodologies for data transformation and normalization including transformation of raw data into information and knowledge - Design, management, and governance for information infrastructures, including information flow, adaptive evolution, and interoperability - Development of algorithms and data structures for analysis of biological information - Querying and query optimization against biological sources - Ontology based data and tool integration - Semantic Web technologies and formalisms for biological data and applications - Web Service based biological workflow configuration and deployment systems - Web interfaces for defining, accessing, and executing workflows - Dynamic discovery of suitable of biological resources - Data exchange rules among data sources and tools - Peer-to-peer based architectures for data and tool integration - Case studies in application of service oriented techniques to solvedata integration issues - Handheld based monitoring of biological workflows, and the role of pervasive computing Workshop Organization Program Co-Chairs: Phil Bourne, University of California, San Diego, USA (bourne@sdsc.edu) Shamkant B.
