IWPLS’09 will bring together scientists of the field of life sciences, bioinformaticians and computer scientists. The aim is to exchange experience, formulate ideas and introduce up-to-date technological advances in molecular and systems biology in the context of portals.
Additionally to participation at the workshop, there are three alternatives for researchers to present their work: talks, lightning talks, and poster sessions. Submission of a paper may result in a talk or a presentation of a poster, submission of an abstract may result in a lightning talk.
We invite the submission of papers and abstracts related to various aspects of molecular and systems biology and portals. Suggested topics include, but are not
limited to:
- Management of biological high-throughput data
- Modeling protein-carbohydrate recognition
- Machine learning for computational immunomics
- Molecular simulations for drug discovery
- Portal technology and portal construction methods
- Usage models and portal tools for life sciences
- Security aspects of portals for life sciences
- Usability studies of life sciences portals
- Workflows and service composition for life sciences
- Service discovery and ontologies for life sciences
- Tools for managing grid and cloud portability
- Integration of life sciences with e-infrastructures
- Demonstrations/ success stories
Paper and abstract submission: 20 July 2009
Notification of acceptance: 14 August 2009
