Study of Mechanism and Effect (VDOSME-2012)

DEADLINE EXTENDED to April 30th (Firm):
ICBO 2012 workshop - Vaccine and Drug Ontology in the Study of Mechanism and
Effect (VDOSME-2012)
July 21st 2012, Graz, Austria

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 30th 2012 *FIRM*

Vaccines and drugs have contributed to dramatic improvements in public
health worldwide. Over the last decade, there have been efforts in
biomedical ontology that represent various areas associated with vaccines
and drugs and which join existing health and clinical terminology systems
(e.g., SNOMED, RxNorm, NDF-RT, and MedDRA) in their application to research
and clinical data.

The "Vaccine and Drug Ontology in the Study of Mechanism and Effect" (VDOSME
2012) workshop will provide a platform for discussing problems and solutions
in the development and application of biomedical ontologies to representing
and analyzing vaccines/drugs, vaccine/drug administrations,
vaccine/drug-induced immune responses, and similar topics. The workshop will
cover:

Ontology Coverage: Ontologies of vaccines, of drugs, and of studies thereof.
Scope of Interest: Representations and analyses of vaccine and drug
formation and preparation, administration, mechanisms, and effects based on
such ontologies.

Examples of biomedical subject matter in the scope of this workshop:
vaccine/drug components (e.g., vaccine antigens, drug active ingredients,
and adjuvants), administration details (e.g., dosage, administration route,
and frequency), gene immune responses and pathways, drug-drug or drug-food
interactions. We will also focus on computational methods used to study
these, for example, literature mining of vaccine/drug-gene interaction
networks, meta-analysis of host immune responses, and time event analysis of
vaccine/drug effects.

All workshop attendees will be expected, at the workshop, to present either
descriptions of their work or to articulate a position. In addition a number
of participants will be selected to lead interactive sessions on focused
topics.

*** Submission Guidelines ***
Full papers must describe novel ontology-related research, not previously
been published and not submitted to other conferences. Short papers describe
research results which are more preliminary or communicate brief position
statements. We also invite full length application-oriented papers, to
showcase the development of novel and successful applications utilizing
ontologies and knowledge-based technologies.

The maximum allowed page lengths of contributions are as follows.

Full paper submission: 5 pages, due Apr 30 (Firm), 2012
Short paper submission: 3 pages, due Apr 30 (Firm), 2012
Statement of interest: 1-2 pages, due Apr 30 (Firm), 2012

*** Journal Publication ***
All full-length papers accepted in this workshop will be invited to extend
the workshop papers and be included in a special issue in the Joural of
Biomedical Semantics. We believe that the eventual inclusion of accepted
full-length publication in the special issue will stimulate more submissions
of high quality manuscripts.
