Hello all,
I would like to show my support for the idea of my colleague Scott on
the list. I've heard rumour that semantic web people have started
doubting whether their own inventions, especially OWL, are catching on.
In my view they have to be more patient. As far as I can see there are
now more than enough front-runners in the life science community who are
using semantic web technology in various ways (or at least trying too).
It would be nice if that was made visible at a high-impact venue such as
ISMB.
Regards,
Marco.

FYI
I suppose that it is a little too early for a special session at ISMB on
semantic modeling, semantic web.. Hmm.. Neural degenerative disorders?

*FIRST CALL FOR ISMB 2008 SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS*

*/SUBMISSION/**/ DEADLINE/**/: October 24 (11:59PM EDT)/*
ISMB 2008 will bring back the highly popular Special Sessions Track
that was successfully introduced at ISMB/ECCB 2007 in Vienna. Special
Sessions have the purpose of introducing the ISMB community to
relevant and “hot” scientific topics that are typically not within the
focus of an ISMB meeting, and highlighting the impact of computational
biology and bioinformatics within these emerging topics. See the full
call for proposals at the URL above, and start putting your proposal
together for introducing the next new topic at ISMB 2008.

*CALL FOR ROCKY ’07** CALL FOR** ABSTRACTS…*
*/5th Annual Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference (Rocky '07) /*
*/November 30 – December 2, 2007… Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado /*
*_http://www.iscb.org/rocky07/presentation.htm_*
*/SUBMISSION/**/ DEADLINE/**/:/**/ October 8, 2007/*
Less than three weeks remain to submit abstracts for the 5th Annual
Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference (Rocky '07). This meeting has
a tradition of building bridges among the diverse research and
educational communities working in the computational biosciences.
Attendees have come from as near as Aspen itself, and as far as
Ireland to the East and Singapore to the West, bringing a worldwide
community together for science and networking among the scenic Rocky
Mountains. The three day conference program includes a great mix of
keynotes, abstracts elevated for full length oral presentation, flash
presentations, poster sessions and plenty of networking time indoors
and on the ski slopes. Industry sponsorship opportunities are also
available.
