Dear all,

this is an update on latest news and a reminder for next deadline for the submission of Abstracts for Oral Communications.

The main deadlines for abstracts submission are the following:
- July 23, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for Oral communications
- September 20, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for the Industrial-Technological Session
- September 30, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for Posters

Here follow the latest news on the workshop.

Keynote talks (confirmed)
+ Integration and analysis of multi-type high-throughput data for biomolecular knowledge discovery
   Erik Bongam-Rudloff, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and Uppsala University, Sweden.
+ Semantics based biomedical knowledge search, integration and discovery
   Barend Mons, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands, and Netherlands Bioinformatics Center
+ Clinical and genomic data integration in support of biomedical research and clinical practice
   Eric Neumann, CTO, PanGenX and CEO, Clinical Semantics Technologies

Tutorials (confirmed)
+ The Taverna Workbench: Integrating and analysing biological and clinical data with computerised workflows
   Katy Wolstencroft, School of Computer Science, University of Manchester, United Kingdom

BMC Bioinformatics Supplement
BMC agreed to publish a Supplement of BMC Bioinformatics on next NETTAB 2012 workshop.
A Call for full papers restricted to works presented at NETTAB 2012, both as oral communication and as poster, will be launched after the workshop.

Industrial-Technological Session
A special session will be devoted to Industrial-technological communications.
This session is meant to include presentations about methodological, scientific and technological issues
of industrial products and tools that are already available from companies and research groups,
as well as about their actual implementation, application domains, and related results.

These communications must not convey any commercial message.
Companies interested in some commercial actions may ask for sponsorship opportunities.

A summary of the Call for abstracts is presented below.

For detailed information, please refer to the web site at http://www.nettab.org/2012/
or contact the organization by email at [log in to unmask] .

I'm looking forward to see you all in Como in November.

Best regards. Paolo Romano

NETTAB 2012 on "Integrated Bio-Search"
November 14-16, 2012, Como, Italy
http://www.nettab.org/2012/

Focus Theme
NETTAB 2012 on "Integrated Bio-Search" will be focused on all technologies, methods, architectures, systems and applications for searching, retrieving, integrating and analyzing data, information, knowledge, infrastructures, services and tools that are required to answer complex bio-medical-molecular questions.

Topics
We are looking for abstracts on all aspects of data integration search in biomedicine. These include methods, algorithms, tools, platforms and applications for creation, syntactic and semantic management, integration, query, retrieval, and mining of Omics, biological and clinical data information and knowledge.
The following list is not meant to be exclusive of any further topics as stated above.
Syntactic and semantic methods and algorithms for biological and clinical
    Data and knowledge management,
    Information and knowledge extraction,
    Data and knowledge integration,
    Data and knowledge query,
    Data, information and knowledge retrieval,
    Data and knowledge mining.
New and optimized technologies for:
    Biomedical federated databases,
    Data warehouses,
    Triple stores,
    Biomedical Data Mining,
    Terminologies and Ontologies,
    Systems' interoperability,
    Natural Language Processing,
    Automatic workflow processing.
Tools and platforms for:
    Molecular data management and storage,
    Deep sequencing analysis,
    Omics data computing,
    Search Computing,
    Decision Support,
    Clinical bioinformatics.
Useful applications of above methods, technologies and tools for:
    Biomedical and clinical knowledge assessment,
    Biomedical and clinical knowledge integration,
    Biomedical and clinical knowledge discovery,
    Biomedical and clinical knowledge validation,
    Drug Design,
    Diagnosis support,
    Prognosis support,
    Personalized medicine.

Type of contributions
The following contributions are sought:
    Oral communications
    Industrial-Technological communications
    Posters

Publications
All accepted abstracts will be published in the workshop proceedings, that we plan to publish in a journal.
Full papers from abstracts presented at NETTAB 2012 will be published in a Supplement of BMC Bioinformatics,
one of the leading bioinformatics journals.
BMC Bioinformatics is a peer-review, open access journal. Its Impact Factor for 2010 is 3.029.
To this aim, a special Call for papers, restricted to oral communications and posters presented at the NETTAB 2012
workshop, will be launched around end of 2012.

Deadlines
- July 23, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for Oral communications
- September 20, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for the Industrial-Technological Session
- September 30, 2012: Abstract submission deadline for Posters
- October 16, 2012: Early registration deadline

Instructions
Submit your abstract through the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nettab2012 .
Instructions for the preparation of the abstract have been included within an MS Word template that is available on-line.
Please, download, rename and use this template to write abstracts!

The length of all abstracts, both for oral communications and for posters, should be between 2 and 3 pages, including
no more than one table or figure.
They should include the following sections: Motivation and Objectives, Methods, Results and Discussion, References.

All contributions for oral communications will be evaluated by at least two referees.
All posters will be evaluated on the basis of their relevance for the workshop's topics only.
