Please note that abstracts are due in one week. ============================================ Objects in Bio- & Chem-Informatics 2001 Call for Participation IMPORTANT DATES: Deadline for abstract submission: May 7, 2001 Author notification: May 22, 2001 Deadline for revised abstract submission: June 15, 2001 Objects In Bio- & Chem-Informatics 2001 (OiBC-2001), hosted by the OMG Life Science Research Domain Task Force (LSR DTF) will be held at the Sheraton Ferncroft Hotel, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA on July 9 and 10, 2001. This two-day conference will focus on the role of object-oriented technology, reusable software components, design patterns, and distributed computing in life sciences research. The overall theme of the conference is sharing best practices for implementing object-based systems for bio- and chem-informatics. Conference scope includes object modeling and implementation, independent of platform or language. The OiBC Program Committee is currently seeking papers and posters reporting original research and development of object-oriented software and systems, the role of object-oriented technology, reusable software components, design patterns, and distributed computing in life sciences research. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include: * Bioinformatics and Genomics * Cheminformatics * Combinatorial libraries and drug design * Computational chemistry * Functional genomics * Information and data management for high-throughput experimental biology * Macromolecular structure * Molecular sequence analysis * Pharmacogenomics * Proteomics * Object-Oriented Modeling, Design, and Ontologies for these disciplines * Efficient object and data stores for any of the disciplines listed above * Advantages and return on investment of object-oriented technologies * Development and application of open standards for information representation and software interoperability Demonstrations of interoperability in systems using components from two or more sources are particularly encouraged, either as posters or as platform talks. Authors should submit their extended (up to 5 pages) abstracts electronically to: oibc-abstracts@omg.org Questions regarding submissions may also be sent to this address. In your covering email, please clearly state the name, email address, and phone number of the corresponding author; the presentation title; and your preference for presentation (platform talk, poster, or demonstration). Abstracts must be received by May 7, 2001, 23:59 local time. This is a firm deadline. For more information about the Call for Participation and how to submit a presentation or poster proposal see the OiBC web site at http://www.omg.org/lsr/oibc/. --- .
