                     Seventh International Conference on

                    Data Integration in the Life Sciences

                                 (DILS 2010)

                              25-27 August, 2010

The development and increasingly widespread deployment of high throughput
experimental methods in the life sciences is giving rise to numerous large,
complex and valuable data resources. This foundation of experimental data
underpins the systematic study of organisms and diseases, which increasingly
depend on the development of models of biological systems. The development
of these models often requires integration of diverse experimental data
resources; once constructed, the models themselves become data and present
new integration challenges for tasks such as interpretation, validation and
comparison.


Topics of Interest
------------------

The DILS conference provides a forum for the discussion of emerging
challenges for data integration in the life sciences, and the techniques
that seek to address them. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

   - Architectures and data management techniques for the life sciences
   - Query processing and optimization for biological data
   - Biological Data sharing and update propagation
   - Query formulation assistance for scientists
   - Modeling of life sciences data
   - Biological Metadata management
   - Annotation in scientific data integration
   - Provenance modeling and management for the life sciences
   - Scientific Workflows and analysis pipelines
   - Laboratory information management systems in biology
   - Biological data quality and data cleaning
   - Life sciences ontologies
   - Semantic web for the life sciences
   - Mining integrated life sciences data
   - Text mining in the life science literature
   - Machine learning in data integration in the life sciences
   - Grid Computing and Grid technologies for the life sciences
   - System prototypes for biology
   - Commercial solutions in the life sciences
   - Integration challenges presented by new kinds of biological data
   - Scientific results arising from innovative data integration solutions


Submission Guidelines
---------------------

Authors are invited to submit poster and system demonstration papers
(2-4 pages in the LNCS format) by 1 August 2010.

Selected poster and system demonstration papers papers will be included
in CEUR Workshop Proceedings, pending approval.
