International Workshop
on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Life
Sciences (SWAT4LS) 28th November 2008,
http://www.swat4ls.org/ Call for
Papers Submission deadline: 13 October 2008! A
selection of papers will be published in a BMC
Bioinformatics supplement devoted to the workshop Overview -------- The
workshop is organized in sessions and open discussions. Invited speakers will
present state-of-theart, provocative
lectures on the workshop's main topic, while a number of submissions will be
accepted as oral
presentations and posters on all workshop's topics. Workshop Description -------------------- Semantic
Web technologies, tools and applications are starting to emerge in Life
Sciences. In recent years,
systems have been introduced and an increasing interest among researchers is
arising. 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. Keynote Speakers ------------------------ +
Semantic web technology in translational cancer research, Michael
Krauthammer, Department of Pathology, +
Using Ontologies to bring Web Services on to the Semantic Web Mark
Wilkinson, Dept. of Medical Genetics, Workshop Venue and Format ------------------------ The
workshop will take place in Science
Institute of the SWAT4LS
will be a one-day workshop and will consist of two invited talks, regular paper
and poster presentations.
The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion on the strength and
weaknesses of the Semantic
Web for the Life Sciences. Deadlines --------- * Submission deadline (both papers and posters): 13 October 2008 *
Notification of acceptance: 20 October 2008 *
Camera-ready submission: 3 November 2008 Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to: *
Standards, Technologies, Tools for the Semantic Web o
Semantic Web standards (RDF, OWL, ...) o
RDF/OWL, SKOS, .... and their applicability to bioinformatics o
RDF Schemas and Query systems o
Biomedical Ontologies and related tools o
Formal approaches to large biomedical controlled terminologies and
vocabularies *

Semantic Web applications in life sciences Type of contributions and instructions ---------------------- The
following possible original contributions are sought: *
Oral communications (regular papers) *
Posters *
Software demos All
contributions must be in English and must be submitted through the EasyChair
review system at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swat4ls. Please
upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
). To
ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by at
least three members of the Scientific
Committee. *
Submissions for Oral communications should be between 10 and 15 pages. *
Posters submissions should be between 4 and 8 pages. *
Software demo proposals should also be between 4 and 8 pages. All
accepted oral communications and posters will be published with the CEUR-WS.org
Workshop Proceedings
service (see http://ceur-ws.org/). Furthermore,
a selection of papers will be published in a special issue of the BMC Bioinformatics journal devoted
to the SWAT4LS workshop. To
this end, a special Call will be launched shortly after the workshop, for
extended and revised versions of
contributions submitted to the workshop and accepted either as oral
communication or poster. For
