It's possible but I doubt it would go down as a Special Session. That isn't to discourage anyone from trying though. You could surely apply for a software demonstration slot, and anyone can do a BoF. You could also apply for a SIG meeting, but ISCB has become increasingly careful in evaluating which SIGs to hold with respect to how much risk they run to lose money (as ISCB absorbs the losses). Suzi's suggestion is a good one. You could also work with BOSC to devote a session to semantic web tools and software, which might in fact benefit both crowds. The only constraint from that is that all software being presented would have to be open source. -hilmar On Sep 20, 2007, at 10:50 AM, Eric Jain wrote: > > Paolo Romano wrote: >> as I see it, ISMB is always being preferring Science, instead of >> Technology. > > In principal, perhaps, but "technology" stuff seems to attract > plenty of attention (maybe not as main talks, but as SIGs, BOFs, > posters and demos, plus of course there are all the technology > vendors with their booths)... > -- =========================================================== : Hilmar Lapp -:- Durham, NC -:- hlapp at duke dot edu : ===========================================================
