Hello,
as I see it, ISMB is always being preferring Science, instead of Technology.
So, a session on the Semantic Web could be seen
as non adequate to the exceptionally high scientific level of the meeting.
My 1 cent.

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?

*/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.

*/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.
