ismb: data and analysis management sig

DAM-SIG 2010, 9 July 2010

DAM SIG 2010 ABSTRACTS

The abstract deadline for the DAM (Data and Analysis Management) SIG held in conjunction with ISMB 2010 in Boston has been EXTENDED to June 1st 2010. We hope this extension will allow for the submission of late breaking developments, and are particularly interest in abstracts relating to two areas:

  • Strategies for managing the data and analysis associated with High Throughput Sequencing technologies, including raw data management, workflow systems, accessible analysis pipelines, communicating and visualizing data intensive analyses, et cetera.

  • Strategies for using dynamically scalable / "cloud" computing resource to address large scale data and analysis management challenges (including those driven by HT-SEQ data).

We are of course still interested in any other topics related to Data and Analysis Management.

DAM SIG was initiated in 2009 to bring together different research groups for focused presentations and discussion about the shared problems and challenges in making data management and analysis accessible to experimentalists. We hope to continue this into 2010 with an equally diverse and exciting set of presentations from the community.

Please submit abstracts by email to dam-sig@bx.psu.edu

Background

DAM-SIG was initiated in 2009 aiming at bringing together different research groups for focused presentations and discussion about the shared problems and challenges in making data management and analysis accessible to experimentalists. By all accounts it was highly successful and established a foundation upon which we hope to continue into the 2010. For the next year we will remain focused in data and analysis management problems but will augment our program to make it more applicable to the area of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies - currently the largest data producing domain in all of life sciences. In doing so we are NOT planning to compete with the short-SIG, which is historically designed to address new algorithmic challenges. Instead we will turn our attention to practicalities of NGS data analysis relevant to biologists, tool developers, and managers of sequencing facilities.

The 2010 DAM-SIG will be help on 9 July 2010 in Boston, MA, USA.
