Researchers and > professionals from biology, medicine, computer science and engineering are > invited to share their knowledge and experience. The event is part of the > Semantic Trilogy 2013 featuring: > > * International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO 2013) > * Canadian Semantic Web Symposium (CSWS 2013) > * Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS 2013) > > web site: http://www.unbsj.ca/sase/csas/data/semantic-trilogy-2013/ > > Topics > > Ontologies for biomedical research and clinical applications > Reports on ontologies for, and their application in high throughput omics > data and systems biology, toxicology and environmental health, disorders, > diseases, phenotypes and physiology, genetic variation and pharmacogenomics, > translational research and personalized medicine, public health and > electronic health care are invited.. > > Foundations and methodology > Papers on foundational and methodological issues pertaining to biomedical > ontology are invited. Eligible topics are, though not limited to, the > following; knowledge representation and reasoning, philosophical foundations > of ontology, upper-level ontologies, topics in ontology engineering including > design and life cycle, methodologies for knowledge elicitation and capture, > ontology-oriented text mining techniques, ontology modularity, mapping, > merging, and alignment of ontologies, and ontology evaluation. > > Biomedical ontologies and the Semantic Web > Research on formal representation of biomedical knowledge using RDF and OWL, > identifiers, mappings & normalization, biomedical research using linked data, > integration strategies using the linked open data cloud, visualization and > manipulation of ontology, federation of online resources, workflows and > semantic web services for biomedical knowledge discovery. > > Social aspects of biomedical ontologies > Perspectives from biomedical ontologists on community standards, adoption, > and proliferation of semantics, use of semantic wikis, bio-curation & > crowdsourcing techniques, user engagement and feedback, semantic publishing > and provenance, governance, evolution and sustainability. > > > Submissions http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icbo2013 > > All accepted submissions will be published as part of the Conference > Proceedings. Papers are to be prepared using templates (available on website) > and submitted via EasyChair. Details will follow in the full Call for Papers > in December 2012. > > 1. Long Research Paper (up to 6 pages) should satisfy the following criteria: > original research; novelty in methodology and/or in research results; > significant development with large potential for impact; theoretical > soundness and/or strong evaluation with demonstration of utility in > applications. > > 2. Short Research Paper (up to 4 pages) should satisfy the following > criteria: original research; methodological soundness with either novel > methodology & application, or demonstrated improvement over existing methods > (with appropriate validation), or the use of existing methodology but in > novel application. Short papers are appropriate for applied research or > systems, or the development of new approaches. > > 3. Systems Paper/Software demonstration (up to 2 pages) must describe the > functionality, availability, and an application of the system. The system > itself must be demonstrated at the conference. > > 4. Early Career Track (up to 4 pages) is to support the work of young > investigators. > There will be an Early Career Track session for the presentation of the > papers. The ECT paper review and acceptance criteria are the same as the > short research papers. The staggered submission dates allows submissions > (from young investigators) that are not accepted as long or short research > papers to be revised and re-submitted; as well as allow first time > submissions from young investigators to the Early Career Track directly. > > 5. Late Breaking Report (1 page) This track is for extended abstracts of > posters. A limited set of the peer-reviewed reports will be selected to be > presented as a flash talk. All reports must be presented as posters. Late > breaking reports should address a clearly defined problem that is of interest > to the ICBO community. A late breaking report is appropriate for interesting > preliminary results; and systems updates. > > 6. Highlights (up to 500 words) This track highlights original peer-reviewed > research with significant impact on data integration research or life > sciences research that is published between May 1, 2012 and May 1, 2013. The > submission is a short abstract highlighting the importance of the work for > the ICBO community. If the publication is not open access, then the authors > must make the paper available to the review committee. > > 7. Workshops > Workshops are half-day or full-day scientific events intended to provide a > forum for the discussion of a specific topic through individual paper > presentations. The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising > the workshop and reviewing and selecting the contributions. Workshops can be > events focusing on a specific topic; they can also include interest group > meetings, or meetings designed to disseminate the results of a research > project on a specific topic. > > 8. Tutorials > Tutorials are educational events. They may be either for a full day or for a > half day. They should focus on one specific topic presented by one or two > experts and involve interaction with the audience. Tutorials can include > hands-on training, in which case the proposal should specify the exact > requirements (laptops, software to install, etc.). > > Relevant dates http://www.unbsj..ca/sase/csas/data/ws/icbo2013/dates.html > > 4 January 2013: Workshop and tutorial proposal submission deadline > 18 January 2013: Notification of acceptance of workshops and tutorial > proposals > 1 February 2013: Conference (long & short) paper submission deadline > 1 April 2013: Notification of conference paper acceptance > 15 April 2013: System, early career and workshop paper > submission deadline > 01 May 2013: Deadline for all camera-ready copies for the proceedings > 15 May 2013: Notification of system, early career and workshop paper > acceptance > 20 May 2013: Submission of late breaking reports and highlight track > papers > 1 June 2013: Notification of acceptance of late breaking reports and > highlight-track papers > 15 June 2013: Deadline for all camera-ready copies for the > proceedings > > > Contact > For more information or to offer sponsorship, please send us a note at > contact: icbo2...@gmail.com > > Organizing Committee > Co-Scientific Chair: Michel Dumontier > Co-Scientific Chair: Christopher Baker > Local Organizer: Gregory Butler > Programme Chair: Robert Hoehndorf > Workshop and Tutorial Chair: Chris Mungall > Poster and Demonstration Chair: Trish Whetzel > Proceedings and Special Issue Chair: Janna Hastings > Early Career Chair: Melissa Haendel > Sponsorship and Publicity Chair: Sivaram Arabandi
