Call for PapersOverview
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 was included in a special issue of BMC Bioinformatics dedicated to the
workshop. The web is a key medium for information publishing, and web based information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange and integration. At the same time, the variety and complexity of biomedical information call for the adoption of semantic-based solutions. The Semantic Web provides a set of technologies and standards that are key to support semantic markup, ontology development, distributed information resources and collaborative social environemnts. Altogether the adoption of the web-based semantic-enabled technologies in the Life Sciences has potential impact on the future of publishing, biological research and medecine. This workshop will provide a venue to present and discuss benefits and limits of the adoption of these technologies and tools in biomedical informatics and computational biology. It will showcase experiences, information resources, tools development and applications. It will bring together researchers, both developers and users, from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to discuss goals, current limits and some real use cases for Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
The following possible contributions are sought:
All accepted communications will be published in the proceedings, either via the CEUR-WS.org Workshop Proceedings service or via Nature Proceedings.
All papers and posters must be in English, formatted according to LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and submitted in pdf format.
Submissions are now open !!!. All submissions are handled via the EasyChair submission system which is accessible at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swat4ls2010 |
