Conference on Semantics in Healthcare and Life Sciences (CSHALS)

Call for Presentations (updated June 24, 2010)

The ISCB Conference on Semantics in Healthcare and Life Sciences (CSHALS) is a forum for the presentation and discussion of semantics-based approaches and challenges currently faced in the Healthcare and Life Science Industry. The conference features keynote lectures, invited talks, selected oral presentations and posters.

Conference organizers are accepting abstract submissions for poster and oral presentations in the following topic areas:

Biologics, Compounds & Chemistry – use of semantic technologies for any aspect of work with chemical compounds and biologics.
Biomolecular Semantics – use of semantic technologies for any aspect of work with biological pathways and molecular interaction networks.
Clinical Harmonization – use of semantic technologies for clinical trials and other highly-regulated environments relative to healthcare.
Emerging & Established Standards – the development and practical application of content and knowledge representation standards for use with semantic technologies.
Genomics & Genetics – semantic applications to biomolecular systems, from the genome-centric, transcriptomic, proteomics, epigenomic, or any other biomolecular profiling.
Linked Data – Projects, results, and best practices in using Linked Data principles to apply Semantic Web technologies in health care and life sciences.
Ontologies & Knowledge Bases – practical application of knowledge engineering principles and techniques.
Safety, Efficacy & Outcomes – Semantic efforts in support of Drug Safety, Efficacy and Outcome prediction within clinical trials, as well as post-market surveillance.
Translational Medicine – practical application of semantic technologies across multiple stages of the typical pharmaceutical R&D pipeline.
Other – New and Innovative.
