This Call is soliciting presentations for the International Symposium on Web Services for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. An increasing number of groups are providing access to data and computational resources through web services. Through providing this access, challenges can occur for hardware, software, and system management, which need to be resolved for web services to be successful. Also, the number of deployed web applications in the field of Computational Biology is increasing; thereby, leading to scientific results generated through the use of distributed resources.
We are looking for contributions in the following areas:
Architecture (SGE, Portals Architectures, Open Grid)
Scientific Results Using Web Service-Based Applications
The expected length of each presentation will be 30 minutes. If you would like to present, please provide the following information:
Title of Presentation
Abstract (300 words)
Contact Information
Short Biography (150 words or less)
