(apologies for cross-posting) ... (please distribute) ------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers >> ODLS 2014 << Submission deadline: July 15, 2014 https://wiki.imise.uni-leipzig.de/Gruppen/OBML/Workshops/2014-ODLS ------------------ Workshop of Ontologies and Data in Life Sciences (ODLS 2014) Oct 7-8, 2014 Freiburg i.Br., Germany Goals of the Workshop --------------------- Medicine, biology and life sciences produce hardly manageable and comprehensible amounts of data, information, and knowledge. Their computer-based processing, integration, as well as their conceptual foundation and application presents ever new challenges to existing methods of knowledge representation, data bases, and data analysis. In the life sciences, enormous data sets are being produced in connection with biological and medical experiments, aiming to unravel biological interconnections for a better understanding in order to offer patients the best possible therapies. Data management and data processing in the life sciences ranges from the best possible integration and usage of distributed, heterogeneous data to the best possible obfuscation of medical data. This integrated workshop covers the overall spectrum of biomedical information processing, from experimental data acquisition and data management, across analysis, structuring and interpretation of data, up to the development of structures of knowledge in the form of ontologies with their various applications. The workshop pursues the aim to gather scientists that work in these fields in order to exchange ideas, to discuss new results and to inspire collaborations. The work- shop has an interdisciplinary character. It fosters the collaboration between ontologists, computer scientists, bio-informaticians, medical information scientists, applied logicians, as well as the cooperation with physicians, bio-chemists, and biometricians. Topics ------ We invite submissions in all areas of biomedical ontology and data management. The following topics are relevant, yet others related to these basic topics are likewise welcome: - Integration, management and retrieval of big data and/or complex data sets - Heterogeneity and integration of big data - Integrative data semantics - Curation of data in life sciences - Visualization of data in life sciences - Generic transformation of clinical data into Semantic Web standards - Data protection of clinical data - Omics-data for diagnosis and therapy - Ontologies in the field of biology, medicine and clinical research, for example -- Ontologies for the specification of clinical trials and medical phenotypes -- Process ontologies in systems biology and in medicine -- Ontologies in neuro biology - Ontologies in knowledge representation (for example, formal ontology of time and space, formal ontology of properties, roles and functions) - Methods and tools for development, management and application of ontologies, for example, -- Quality assurance and evaluation of ontologies -- Applications in the fields of Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, and Big Data Important Dates --------------- Submission of contributions: July 15, 2014 (Tue) <--- Author notification: August 25, 2014 (Mon) Camera-ready manuscripts due: September 10, 2014 (Wed) Registration: September 30, 2014 (Tue) ODLS Workshop: October 7-8, 2014 (Tue-Wed) Submission Instructions ----------------------- Submissions to the workshop can be - **extended abstracts of 2 pages** or - **papers of 4 to 6 pages** (any such length is equally welcome; 6 pages is the strict maximum). Contributions in English are highly recommended, but submissions in German can also be accepted. The preferred file format for submissions is PDF, other admitted formats are Microsoft Word (DOC and DOCX) and Postscript (PS). Please use the corresponding template for submissions, either the LaTeX template or the Microsoft Word template, see [1]. Contributions must be submitted via the EasyChair conference system. Accepted abstracts and papers will be printed in a proceedings volume (with ISSN) that will be distributed during the workshop. After the workshop authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS) [2].
