Workshop

Location

Building on the success of the IRB2009 workshop which focused on biomedical research, the GEN2PHEN Consortium and Finland Center for Science (CSC) are organizing a 2-day international workshop "Identity in Research Infrastructure and Scientific Communication". IRISC2011 will bring together key stakeholders and experts and help foster collaboration, coordination and awareness in this area, not only in biomedicine and bioinformatics but in all areas of scientific research.

Agenda and other event details are available via the main workshop website: http://irisc-workshop.org.

The workshop will introduce comprehensive guidelines for design, semantic annotation and publishing of SOAP-based Web Services in the area of life sciences. The participants should be familiar with the basic concepts of Web Services, and should preferably already have produced or have been involved in the production of one or more such services.

A primary way that biologists interact with their data is through visualization systems, ranging from simple, stand-alone methods to complex, integrated software packages. However, the sheer volume and diversity of both data and of visualization systems presents an increasing challenge for biologists.

The complete genome sequence of hundreds of organisms has provided the parts list required for large-scale studies of organism, cell and gene function. High-throughput functional genomic technologies are generating enormous amounts of information describing the nature of genes, proteins and their interactions within the cell. Whole genome association studies are providing us with an increasing number or potential disease genes. Through the combined use of computational and experimental techniques, we are beginning to achieve comprehensive mappings of cellular and molecular networks.
