DILS 2007 Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania News Understanding the mechanisms involved in life (e.g. discovering the biological function of a set of proteins, inferring the evolution of a set of species) is becoming increasingly dependent on progress made in engineering, mathematics, and computer science. For the past 30 years, new high-throughput technologies have been developed generating large amounts of data, distributed across many data sources on the web, with high degree of semantic heterogeneity and different levels of quality. However, this data by itself is not sufficient to make scientific discovery, but must be combined with other data and processed by bioinformatics tools for patterns, similarities, and unusual occurrences to be observed. Both data integration and data mining is thus of paramount importance in life science. DILS 2007 is the fourth in a workshop series that aims at fostering discussion, exchange, and innovation in research and development in the areas of data integration and data management for the Life Science. DILS 2004 in Leipzig, DILS 2005 in San Diego, and DILS 2006 in Hinxton each attracted around 100 researchers from all over the world. We invite researchers, and professionals from biology, medicine, computer science and engineering to participate and share their knowledge in this forum. DILS 2007 will have two keynote talks, peer-reviewed paper presentations, and a poster/demo session. Papers must address challenges for data integration and data management in life sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
DILS'06 proceedings Proceedings will be published by Springer Lecture Notes on
Bioinformatics (LNBI). Important dates
