Area and Scope
The life science community is experiencing a period of unprecedented change, challenge and opportunity. With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome (and ever increasing numbers of other genomes), the opportunities of in-silico scientific research offer a new horizon of possibilities: from rapid targeted drug discovery, identification of genetic factors to disease causes and epidemiological studies through to complete biological understanding of complete organisms and tailored genetic treatments supporting e-Health solutions. The possibilities abound! Fundamental to the realization of this vision is the infrastructure needed to use and analyze the vast array of data sets associated with such research. These data sets are growing exponentially, often have radically different characteristics, are often maintained by completely different groups and bodies, and importantly are perpetually evolving. In this context, the development of an infrastructure that allows to access, use, and analyze such changing and growing amounts of data is both technically challenging, offers huge benefits to the scientific community and is potentially extremely viable commercially.
The Grid represents one way in which such an infrastructure can be developed and supported, providing seamless access to computational and data resources. This workshop will focus on all aspects related to the application of Grid technologies to the challenges facing the life science community.
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages on A4 paper size, using at least 1 inch margins and 12-point font. Authors should submit a PDF or PostScript file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission through the symposium website is strongly encouraged. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Important Dates
