    AIM AND SCOPE

    New advances in life sciences, e.g. molecular biology, biodiversity, drug discovery and medical research, increasingly depend on bioinformatics methods to manage and analyze vast amounts of highly diverse data.

    The volume of data is increasing at an unprecedented pace, fueled by world-wide research activities producing publicly available data, and new technologies, e.g. high-throughput devices such as microarrays. Thus, data mining and analysis require comprehensive integration of heterogeneous data, that is typically distributed across many data sources on the web and often structured only to a limited extent.

    Despite new interoperability technologies such as XML and web services, data integration is a highly difficult and still largely manual task, especially due to the high degree of semantic heterogeneity and varying data quality as well as specific application requirements.

    DILS 2004 aims at providing a new forum for presenting novel research results and assessing the state of the art in the field of data integration for life sciences. It addresses researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners to share their knowledge on this highly important
    bioinformatics subject.

    In an effort to bring together academics and industrial practitioners, we solicit both research papers and application / experience papers. It is planned to publish accepted papers by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
