NETTAB 2013 on "Semantic, Social, and Mobile Applications for
Bioinformatics and Biomedical Laboratories"
October 16-18, 2013, Lido of Venice, Italy
http://www.nettab.org/2013/
Focus
The NETTAB 2013 workshop will explore mobile, social, and semantic
solutions for bioinformatics and laboratory informatics.
A savvy combination of these technologies could greatly enhance the
research outcome of life scientists and markedly simplify workflows in
biomedical laboratories.
Keynote talks (confirmed only)
+ Semantic, Social, and Mobile technologies for the automation of
research in biomedicine
Ross D. King, School of Computer Science, University of Manchester,
Manchester, United Kingdom
+ Facilitating Scientific Discovery through Crowdsourcing and Distributed
Participation
Antony Williams, Royal Society of Chemistry
Deadlines
+ July 5, 2013: Abstract submission deadline for Oral
communications
+ July 31, 2013: Abstract submission deadline for Posters
+ September 13, 2013: Early registration deadline
