<h2>About CSHALS 2010</h2>
<div>
<div>The ISCB Conference on Semantics in Healthcare and Life Sciences
returns for its third year as the premier annual event focused on the
use of semantic technologies in the pharmaceutical industry, including
hospitals/healthcare institutions and academic research labs.<br><br>CSHALS
is a single forum for the presentation and discussion of practical
semantics-based approaches, including challenges faced and applications
that are working. The conference features keynote lectures, invited
talks and discussion sessions guided by leaders and visionaries of
intelligent systems for drug discovery and development. Rather than a
Semantic Web conference, CSHALS is a conference focused on specific
applications of semantic technologies to show where advances have been
made, determine what the current needs are, and anticipate where the
field is headed in order to prepare and advance with the field. The
conference is organized along specific topics and moderated to
stimulate interactive discussions around sets of key questions
determined in advance with input from registered attendees.<strong><br><br>CSHALS
is intended for anyone already participating in this groundbreaking
field, and a pre-conference tutorial is offered to help interested
researchers come up to speed on the practical approaches of applying
intelligent information technologies in pharmaceutical R&amp;D. <br><br>If this describes you, save the date now and follow the website for updates on CSHALS 2010. <br><br>Conference
participants will take part in discussion sessions that&nbsp; explore
answers to technology questions such as the following:</strong><br> 
<ul>
<li>Where are semantic applications having the biggest impact?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>What support exists for using semantics for automated reasoning and agent technologies? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How well do semantic tools enable the visualization and utilization of information and knowledge? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>What are the measurable benefits of Semantic Web standards, such as RDF, OWL, and SPARQL?</li>
</ul>
<strong>Themes of past CSHALS conferences: </strong><br> 
<ul>
<li>Clinical Information Management</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Discovery Information Integration</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Integrated Healthcare and Semantics in Electronic Health Records </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Translational Medicine / Safety </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Search and Document Management/Business Intelligence/Text Mining </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Text Mining/ Information Extraction</li>
</ul>
<strong>C-SHALS will be preceded by a half day Tutorial focused on the
current Semantic Web standard RDF tools to show participants how this
technology meets drug development needs.</strong></div></div></div></body></html>
