Report on the 2nd International Workshop on Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS'05)

摘要

Following a successful first international workshop on Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS) in 2004 in Leipzig, Germany, the second DILS workshop was held in San Diego, California from July 20-22, 2005. This new workshop series reflects the strong interest in an annual event, bringing together biologists and computer scientists conducting research in life science data management and integration, in domains and applications such as molecular biology, biodiversity, drug discovery and personalized medical research. The program committee accepted 15 long papers and 5 short papers from 42 submissions. In addition, DILS also featured 7 posters, 2 keynotes, several reports on ongoing research activities in academia and industry, and a panel on The Electronic Health Record of the Future: Incorporating Molecular Information, organized by the AMIA Genomics Working Group.
