2nd Conference on Drug Development for the Third World 2009 (Trieste, Italy)

.
Website: http://www.sissa.it/sbp/DDTW2009/conference.htm

2nd Conference on
Drug Development for the Third World
from Computational Molecular Biology to Experimental Approaches


International Centre for Theoretical Physics
Trieste, Italy
1-5 June 2009


The aim of the event is to bring together distinguished scientists from all over the world, and in particular from third world countries, such as Indonesia, Mexico, East Europe.

With this second edition, the Organizers intend to create a specific web site, and this Conference will serve as a platform to gather course offerings in bioinformatics, docking, biotechnology, and other computer-intensive areas.

It will also serve to link together both students and faculty, to encourage future involvement for further exchange and mutual research.

HiCOMB 2009 (Rome, Italy)

.
HiCOMB 2009
Eighth IEEE International Workshop on High Performance Computational Biology
Monday, May 25, 2009 Rome, Italy

(Held in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium)

Website: http://www.hicomb.org/

HiCOMB Online Proceedings

HiCOMB 2009 Call For Papers

Computational Biology is fast emerging as an important discipline for academic research and industrial application. The large size of biological data sets, inherent complexity of biological problems and the ability to deal with error-prone data all result in large run-time and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in developing high-performance computing solutions to problems arising from molecular biology. We are especially interested in parallel algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, and design of high-performance software. The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Bioinformatic databases
Computational genomics
Computational proteomics
DNA assembly, clustering, and mapping
Gene expression and microarrays
Gene identification and annotation
Parallel algorithms for biological analysis
Parallel architectures for biological applications
Molecular evolution
Molecular sequence analysis
Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms
Protein structure prediction and modeling
String data structures and algorithms
Submission guidelines:

Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and experimental) in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology are sought. Surveys of important recent results and directions are also welcome.

To submit a paper, upload a postscript or PDF copy of the paper here.

The paper should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages (US Letter or A4 size) in 11pt font or larger.

All papers will be reviewed. IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. The complete symposium and workshop proceedings will also be published by IEEE CS Press on CD-ROM and will also be available in the IEEE Digital Library.

Authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to
submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a
special issue of a reputed journal.

Conference: EGEE User Forum 2009 (Italy)

.
EGEE-User Forum
2-6 March 2009
Catania, Sicily


Hosted by INFN

Website: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceCFA.py?confId=40435


Call for abstracts (full text)
Template for abstract submission

Important dates:

Abstract submission opening date: 15th of October
Deadline for abstract submission: 5th of December
Notification of acceptance: 15th of January

The User Forum is an annual key event of the EGEE project. The forum provides an important opportunity for members of the grid community exploiting the technologies developed by EGEE and various collaborating projects, to present their work, discuss grid technology use with colleagues, and learn about advances in middleware and application services.The 4th EGEE User Forum is co-located with OGF25 and OGF-Europe's 2nd international event. This combined event will once again strengthen the links between EGEE and the Open Grid Forum, bringing users and standards bodies together to ensure that the future of the grid is complemented by the establishment of key standards.

The Program Committee invites abstracts for contributions in one of following general topics:


Scientific results obtained using grid technology
Planned or on-going scientific work using the grid
Experiences from application porting and deployment
Grid Services exploiting and extending gLite middleware (job management, data management, monitoring, workflows etc)
Programming environments
End-user environments and portal technologies
Emerging Technologies within the EGEE infrastructure (cloud, virtualization etc)

Contributions may be offered for oral presentation, posters or demonstrations.
The official language for the abstracts is English.
