From dan.bolser at gmail.com Wed Dec 1 13:37:13 2010 From: dan.bolser at gmail.com (Dan Bolser) Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 18:37:13 +0000 Subject: [BiO BB] New 'biological wiki' mailing list Message-ID: Hi all, As a follow up to the NETTAB 2010 'biological wikis' workshop [1], we have created a new Google Group mailing list [2]. The purpose of the list is to create a forum for topics related to biological wikis, community annotation, data wikis and the semantic web. Although there are several similar groups, none is focused on the topic of wikis for biology and the specific set of associated issues. In addition to general discussion, the idea is that the list can be a place for biowiki developers to share tools, insight, news and activity as well as a way to foster closer collaboration between the different existing biowikis. Please feel free to join the discussion or forward this message to anyone who you think may be interested. Sincerely, Dan.

For example, the Human Genome Project provided the sequence of the 3 billion DNA bases that constitute the human genome. And, consequently, we are provided too with the sequences of about 100,000 proteins. Therefore, we are entering the post-genomic era: after having focused so many efforts on the accumulation of data, we have now to focus as much effort, and even more, on the analysis of these data. Analyzing this huge volume of data is a challenging task because, not only, of its complexity and its multiple and numerous correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution of our understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of biological data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very limited amount of information, compared to the numerous and complex biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to use computer tools and develop new in silico high performance approaches to support us in the analysis of biological data and, hence, to help us in our understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand, structures and functional patterns of biological sequences and, on the other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) are a response to these new trends. Topics of BIOKDD'11 workshop include, but not limited to: Data Preprocessing: Biological Data Storage, Representation and Management (data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks and pathways, ?), Biological Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant data removal, completion of missing data, ?), Feature Extraction (motifs, subgraphs, ?), Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid approaches, embedded approaches, ?) Data Mining: Biological Data Regression (regression of biological sequences?), Biological data clustering/biclustering (microarray data biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, ?), Biological Data Classification (classification of biological sequences?), Association Rules Learning from Biological Data, Text mining and Application to Biological Sequences, Web mining and Application to Biological Data, Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Data Mining Data Postprocessing: Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules via numerical indicators, e.g. measurements of interest, ? ), Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Integration PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in English. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE format . All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of DEXA?11 Workshops with IEEE CSP. One of the authors of an accepted paper must register to DEXA?11 conference and present the paper at BIOKDD?11 workshop.

These next-generation technologies have the potential to dramatically accelerate biological and biomedical research by enabling the comprehensive analysis of genomes and transcriptomes to become inexpensive, routine and widespread. The exploding volume of data has spurred the development of novel algorithmic approaches for primary analyses of sequence data in such areas as error correction, de novo genome assembly, novel transcript discovery, virus quasispecies assembly, etc. This workshop will bring together specialists to discuss the various mathematical and computational challenges presented by next-generation sequencing technologies.?

Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epidemiological, clinical and text mining applications have made essential progress through using bioinformatics tools. Standard tools are usually offered through the Web. This is no longer sufficient with more complex analysis and simulation tasks from emerging research fields like systems biology, image analysis, biomedical applications or data management. In recent years Grid and Web services based approaches have been developed to face the new challenges. Moreover, emerging life sciences applications need to use in a coordinated way both bioinformatics tools, biological data banks, and patient?s clinical data, that requires seamless integration, privacy preservation and controlled sharing. This 3rd Workshop on Biomedical and Bioinformatics Challenges to Computer Science will bring together scientists from computer and life sciences to discuss future directions of bioinformatics algorithms, applications, and data management. Questions to be looked at are whether wrapping existing algorithms as Grid or Web service will be sufficient to cope with the more complex applications and the increasing volume of data to be processed or which applications would profit from being redeveloped as native parallel or distributed application. Furthermore, the use of novel parallel architectures and dedicated hardware to implement bioinformatics and biomedical algorithms will be discussed. TOPICS OF INTEREST The workshop is seeking original research papers presenting innovative solutions from parallel, distributed and Grid computing applied to bioinformatics algorithms and life sciences applications. Specifically we are interested in the following topics: - sequence and structure bioinformatics - computational proteomics - systems biology - biomedical image analysis - biomedical simulation - data management - data integration - data visualization- workflow modelling - distributed biomedical applications - high performance computing - dedicated hardware and architectures - parallelisation techniques - service orientation - volunteer computing - peer-to-peer computing PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of Procedia Computer Science. Please use this file for a Latex template plus instructions and click here for an MS word template file. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
