[Corpora-List] Fwd: [BioNLP] World=?windows-1252?Q?=92s_?=Biggest Computer Conference WORLDCOMP is Cancelled

Wed Jan 30 17:36:50 UTC 2013

Two observations:
1. All the comments seem to be posted by one person seeing that the time is
the same
2. This is a congress of conferences. For the BioComp, see
http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/worldcomp13/ws/conferences/biocomp13/committee

Disclaimer: I went to the links out of academic interest, because part of
my research is to extract knowledge from literature for end users. This has
to include gray literature and even unpublished reports to avoid
publication bias.

Sincerely,
Siddhartha Jonnalagadda, Ph.D.
