Welcome to the website of the SWAT4LS series of workshops devoted to Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Life Sciences.
Next edition:
SWAT4LS 2010
Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Life Sciences
Location to be defined, November 2010
SWAT4LS is a workshop that provides a venue to present and discuss benefits
and limits of the adoption of Semantic Web technologies and tools in
biomedical informatics and computational biology.
The first edition, held in Edinburgh in November 2008, received 40
submissions, of which 13 were accepted as oral communications, and part of
them included in a special issue of BMC Bioinformatics dedicated to the
workshop (in preparation).
The second edition, held in Amsterdam in November 2009, received a total of 27 submission, and presented a more varied program with 6 full papers, 3 keynotes, 5 demos, 3 short talks, posters session and panel discussion.
This edition has been evaluated unanoumosly well by participants and a call for a special issue on the Journal of Biomedical Semantics dedicated to this workshop is in preparation.
The next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open and stimulating environment that
brought together researchers, both developers and users, from the various
fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to discuss goals,
current limits and real experiences in the use of Semantic Web technologies
in Life Sciences.
