The Workshop on Interoperability in Scientific Computing will be held on the morning of Monday 5th of December, and is co-located with the main conference. Approaches to modelling take many forms. The mathematical, computational and encapsulated components of models can be diverse in terms of complexity and scale, as well as in published implementation (mathematics, source code, and executable files). Many of these systems are attempting to solve real-world problems in isolation. However the long-term scientific interest is in allowing greater access to models and their data, and to enable simulations to be combined in order to address ever more complex issues. Markup languages, metadata specifications, and ontologies for different scientific domains have emerged as pathways to greater interoperability. Domain specific modelling languages allow for a declarative development process to be achieved. Metadata specifications enable coupling while ontologies allow cross platform integration of data. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from across scientific disciplines whose computational models require interoperability. This may arise through interactions between different domains, systems being modelled, connecting model repositories, or coupling models themselves, for instance in multi-scale or hybrid simulations. The outcomes of this workshop will be to better understand the nature of multidisciplinary computational modelling and data handling. Moreover we hope to identify common abstractions and cross-cutting themes in future interoperability research applied to the broader domain of scientific computing. FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS We invite submissions for high-quality papers (up to 8 pages in length) within the context of scientific computing in any of the traditional sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), engineering, or scientific/mathematical modelling applied to the social sciences and humanities. Papers should address progress, results or positions in one or more of the following areas: * Use of metadata standards for annotating scientific models and data * Curating and publishing digital models and data to online repositories * Meta-modelling and markup languages for model description * Theoretical frameworks for combining disparate models, multi-scale models * Using standardised data formats in computational models * Domain-specific ontologies for the sciences It is expected that the proceedings of the e-Science 2011 workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA, and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. SUBMISSION PROCESS Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines. Templates are available from here: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html . Authors should submit a PDF or PostScript (level 2) file that will print on a PostScript printer. Papers conforming to the above guidelines should be submitted through the EasyChair submission system here: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=wisc11 Note, papers should NOT be submitted to the main e-Science 2011 paper submission system, as they will not be directed to the workshop organisers. It is requested that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the conference and workshop.

This interdisciplinary conference on modelling and simulation of real-world phenomena will draw academic and industry leaders from all relevant fields. ICCS intends to provide a forum to disseminate world leading research in the field of (scientific) Computational Science and in particular to highlight the role which modeling and simulation plays in future scientific discovery. The focus of ICCS has always been to enable scientists through the development of computational techniques and technologies. At the centre of this are the thematic workshops which are intended to present more focused research in various areas of Computational Science, such as Computational Biology and Computational Physics. This is not limited to the hard sciences and we would specifically like to encourage 'new' areas such as Computational Sociology and Psychology. Thematic workshops organized by an expert in a particular area constitute the core of the conference. With this mail we are soliciting proposals to organize a workshop for ICCS 2012.

To propose a talk, just add a line to the wiki page here: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2011#Conference_days And while you're at it, if you're attending SMWCon then you should also add your name to the attendees list, here: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2011#Registration Though it's not obvious from the current short list of proposals, this SMWCon promises to be packed with interesting talks and presentations, including about the cutting-edge semantic web technology being developed at the Free University in Berlin, and the creation of a true data repository for Wikipedia (it's finally happening!). Finally, you can also submit a tutorial for the first day, i.e. the tutorial day, if you're a developer or just know a lot about the technology in question: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2011#Tutorial_Day -Yaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Storage Efficiency Calculator This modeling tool is based on patent-pending intellectual property that has been used successfully in hundreds of IBM storage optimization engage- ments, worldwide. ?Store less, Store more with what you own, Move data to the right place.

It relates molecular biological events to etiology, distribution and prevention of disease in human populations. Over years, molecular epidemiology has became extensively fused with mathematical and computational science and immensely benefitted from this tight association. The CAME workshop aims to bring together field practitioners of molecular epidemiology, molecular evolutionists, population geneticists, medical researchers, bioinformaticians, statisticians and computer scientists interested in the latest developments in algorithms, mining, visualization, modeling, simulation and other methods of computational, statistical and mathematical analysis of genetic and molecular data in the epidemiological context. We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on mathematical and computational approaches to molecular epidemiology. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Analysis of next generation sequencing data * Analysis of mass spectrometry data * Evaluation of quasispecies * Phylogenetics of pathogens * Computational support to disease surveillance * Identification of pathogen transmission events * Computational approaches to pathogen evolution * Identification of novel markers of disease * Population dynamics and drug-resistance * Metagenomic analysis Papers of at most 8 pages in IEEE 2-column format should be submitted electronically at http://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2011/bibm11/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S2 All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and extended version of selected papers will be invited to a special issue of In Silico Biology.
