Call for Proposals and Contributions for LIFE SCIENCE FREE SOFTWARE TUTORIALS and the LIFE SCIENCE FREE SOFTWARE SESSION to be held at CompLife 2007 (http://www.complife.org/) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on October 3-6, 2007 ====================================================================== ====================================================================== LIFE SCIENCE FREE SOFTWARE TUTORIALS held at CompLife 2007 (http://www.complife.org/) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on October 3, 2007 ====================================================================== The CompLife organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. Although a variety of free software programs, libraries or public datasources are available in the area of Life Sciences, many researchers do not know they exist or are afraid of using because of their apparent complexity. For this reason, we are seeking proposals for tutorials that teach interested researchers and users how to use such libraries, programs, public databases, etc. The tutorials are intended to last about 1.5 to 2 hours and will be held the day before the main conference. IMPORTANT DATES: Tutorial proposals due: June 1, 2007 Notification of acceptance/rejection: July 1, 2007 Tutorial matrial due: September 16, 2007 PROPOSAL DETAILS: Proposals should be submitted electronically by June 1 to the tutorial chairs tutorials at complife.org. Proposals should be in either PDF or ASCII format and include the following: * Basic information: Title, brief description, name and contact information for each tutor, length of the proposed tutorial. * Audience: Proposals must clearly identify the intended audience for the tutorial (e.g., end-users, programmers, researchers). What background will be required of the audience? Why is this topic important/interesting to the community? What is the benefit to participants? * Coverage: Enough material should be included to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which it will be covered. The more details that can be provided, the better. * Bios: Brief biographical information on each tutor (including qualifications with respect to the tutorial's topic). * Special Equipment: Please indicate any additional equipment needed (if any). The standard equipment includes a LCD projector, a single projection screen and microphones. ====================================================================== LIFE SCIENCE FREE SOFTWARE SESSION held at CompLife 2007 (http://www.complife.org/) in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on October 4-6, 2007 ====================================================================== In recent years more and more free and open-source software has been developed for chemo- and bioinformatics, molecular modeling or other Life Science applications, however, many of the programs are not well known. Following the great success of last year's Free Software Session at CompLife 2006 we are organizing another special session dedicated to this type of free software. Authors of free software will have the opportunity to present their program to the CompLife audience during the welcome reception which will consist of researchers and users from computer science, biology, chemistry and everything in between. In case you are interested in the free software session, send us an email to fss at complife.org and briefly describe your program and how you intend to present it at the conference (1-2 pages max - please include URL to downloadable version where available). The only restrictions are that the program be freely available or even open source; it must also be related to Life Science applications. The deadline for these proposals is June 22, 2007. In mid-July we will notify you if your software demo has been accepted. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
