Topics of Interest
The DILS conference is an interdisciplinary forum on advances in
data integration, data management and data analysis for the life sciences.
Researchers and professionals from biology, medicine, computer science
and engineering are invited to contribute their latest results.
Of particular interest are topics related to enabling the use of
Big Data in life science research and applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Big Data Integration for the life sciences
- Ontology mappings and evolution
- Large-scale data analysis for the life sciences
- Architectures and data management techniques for the life sciences
- Query processing and optimization for biological data
- Biological data sharing and update propagation
- Query formulation assistance for scientists
- Modeling of life sciences data
- Biomedical data integration issues in eScience
- Laboratory information management systems in biology
- Workflow systems
- Quality assurance in integrated biological data repositories
- Biomedical metadata management (including provenance)
- Mining integrated life sciences data and text resources
- Standards for biomedical data integration and annotation
- Linked Open Data, SPARQL endpoints for biomedical data
- Creation and use of clinical data repositories
- Data integration in clinical and translational research
- Integration of genotypic and phenotypic data
- Challenges and opportunities with big data in the life sciences
- Ethical, legal and social issues with biomedical data integration.
Papers are to be prepared using LNCS templates and submitted using the
EasyChair site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dils2014.
The proceedings of DILS will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in
Bioinformatics.
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of their DILS paper for publication in a supplement of the Journal of
Biomedical Semantics.
The extended versions will then go through another fast reviewing process
and, if accepted for publication, there will be a publication fee.
Posters and Demos:
DILS2014 also invites the submission of posters and demos to be presented
in the poster/demo session at the conference. The poster/demo papers
will not be included in the DILS 2014 proceedings, but will be published
in the web site and distributed in the conference.The poster/demo papers
should be submitted using the
EasyChair site (up to 4 pages), clearly specifying the category (poster or
demo).
Important dates for poster/demo abstracts:
May 15, 2014: Submission deadline
June 6, 2014: Notification of acceptance.
