Re: [Fwd: ISMB 2008 Call for Special Session Proposals + More ISCB Conference News]

my 0.001 cents,

If you look at the other sessions, there's nothing so technologically  
oriented. And there's already a session on ontologies.
Maybe a SIG ?  (that by the way seem to be more interesting) with a  
focus on data intergation in life sciences ? (just to give a  
traslational touch).
