Dag allemaal, Ik had woensdagavond een voedselvergiftiging opgelopen, maar voel me vandaag al veel beter. Ik ga wel van thuis uit werken omdat ik nog te zwakjes ben om tot Gent te komen. Op de VIB Nieuwjaarsreceptie ga ik spijtig genoeg wel niet geraken. Groetjes, Nathalie

The decision will be made by the PC Chairs based on the referee paper reviews. DILS 2008 wants to encourage young and new researchers: papers in which a Ph.D. student is the lead researcher and/or papers in which the lead author has no prior journal of major conference papers in bioinformatics will be preferred. *************************************************************** Keynote speakers *************************************************************** * Olivier Bodenreider, National Library of Medicine, NIH, USA * Peter Karp, SRI International, USA * Norman Paton, University of Manchester, UK *************************************************************** Call for Papers *************************************************************** For several years now, there has been an exponential growth of the amount of life science data (e.g., sequenced complete genomes, 3D structures, DNA chips, Mass spectroscopy data) generated by high throughput experiments. Large amounts of data are distributed across many sources over the web, with high degree of semantic heterogeneity and different levels of quality. These data must be combined with other data and processed by bioinformatics tools deployed on powerful and efficient platforms for patterns, similarities, and unusual occurrences to be observed. Carrying out analyses of complex, voluminous, and heterogeneous data and guiding the analysis of data is thus of paramount importance and necessitates data integration techniques to be involved. DILS 2008 is the fifth in a workshop series that aims at fostering discussion, exchange, and innovation in research and development in the areas of data integration and data management for the life sciences. DILS 2004 in Leipzig, DILS 2005 in San Diego, DILS 2006 in Hinxton, and DILS 2007 in Philadelphia, each attracted around 100 researchers from all over the world. We invite researchers, and professionals from biology, medicine, computer science, and engineering to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. Papers must address challenges for data integration and data management in the life sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures and data management techniques for the life sciences * Query processing and optimization for biological data * Biological Data sharing and update propagation * Query formulation assistance for scientists * Modeling of life sciences data * Biological Metadata management * Annotation in scientific data integration * Provenance modeling and management for the life sciences * Scientific Workflows and analysis pipelines * Laboratory information management systems in biology * Biological data quality and data cleaning * Life sciences ontologies * Semantic web for the life sciences * Mining integrated life sciences data * Machine learning in data integration in the life sciences * Grid Computing and Grid technologies for the life sciences * System prototypes for biology * Commercial solutions in the life sciences *************************************************************** PC Chairs *************************************************************** * Amos Bairoch, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Swiss-Prot group, University of Geneva, Switzerland * Sarah Cohen Boulakia, LRI, University of Paris-Sud 11, France * Christine Froidevaux, LRI, University of Paris-Sud 11, France *************************************************************** Important dates *************************************************************** * Research papers due: February 20, 2008 * Author notification: March 26, 2008 * Camera-ready copy due: April 16, 2008 *************************************************************** ** Publicity Chairs * Julie Chabalier, Faculte de medecine, University of Rennes 1, France * Fouzia Moussouni, INSERM, University of Rennes 1, France ** Webmasters * Frederic Lemoine, LRI, University of Paris-Sud 11, France * Bastien Rance, LRI, University of Paris-Sud 11, France ** Contact: frederic DOT lemoine AT lri DOT fr *************************************************************** -- ================================================================== Dr. Yvan Saeys, PhD DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SYSTEMS BIOLOGY Fax:32 (0)9 331 38 09 BIOINFORMATICS TEAM Tel:32 (0)9 331 36 95 GHENT UNIVERSITY, Technologiepark 927, B-9052 Gent, Belgium Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie VIB mailto:yvan.saeys@ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/ http://www.psb.ugent.be/~yvsae/ ==================================================================

[Beg-sysbiol] [Fwd: CIL: Symposium "Recent Trends in Data Mining" (January 22, 2008)]
by Yvan Saeys 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Dear member of the CIL doctoral school, On Tuesday, Januari 22, the Declarative Languages and Artificial Intelligence research group of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven organizes the symposium "Recent Trends in Data Mining" at the Arenberg Castle, Kasteelpark Arenberg 1, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium. The symposium starts at 10 am and includes three invited speakers: Bernhard Pfahringer (University of Waikato, New Zealand), Luís Torgo (University of Porto, Portugal) and Joaquin Vanschoren (KULeuven). After the symposium, Anneleen Van Assche will defend her PhD "Improving the applicability of ensemble methods in data mining" (in Dutch). Afterwards, a reception will be offered at the salons of the Arenberg Castle. The program can be found below and in more detail at http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~anneleen/phd/. Attending the symposium is free, however registration is required. Please, register online by January 15. Kind regards, -- Gael de Lannoy PhD Researcher UCL Machine Learning Group UCL Neural Rehabilitation Laboratory -- ================================================================== Dr. Yvan Saeys, PhD DEPARTMENT OF PLANT SYSTEMS BIOLOGY Fax:32 (0)9 331 38 09 BIOINFORMATICS TEAM Tel:32 (0)9 331 36 95 GHENT UNIVERSITY, Technologiepark 927, B-9052 Gent, Belgium Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie VIB mailto:yvan.saeys@ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/ http://www.psb.ugent.be/~yvsae/ ==================================================================
