ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The Workshop "Reproducibility, standards and SOP in Bioinformatics" is co-organised by the EU COST Action CHARME, EMBnet (The Global Bioinformatics Network) and NETTAB (International Workshop Series on Network Tools and Applications for Biology). It is hosted by the ELIXIR-ITA Node and will be held at the Italian CNR (National Research Council) head quarter, in Rome.

The workshop will be preceded by a GOBLET/ELIXIR-ITA Tutorial and an ELIXIR Hackathon on Monday 24th.

Topics of interest:
Reproducibility, standards and SOPs in bioinformatics, including:
Trends in open science, Open access journals, Open source practices; Good programming practices for reproducibility; The role of cloud computing in reproducible research; Computational tools, such as Sweave, knitr, supporting automatic production of research papers; Standard operating procedures (SOP) in bioinformatics; Tools, practices, and dissemination platforms for ensuring reproducibility; Role of workflow management systems and ontologies in reproducible research; Automatic tools for tracking the provenance of data, analyses, and results; Data FAIR-ness; Bioinformatics standards for models and data.

Bioinformatics Education and Training:
Special Session held in collaboration with GOBLET and ELIXIR-ITA.

NETTAB Workshop topics, including:
On-line databases, software tools, user interfaces; Data integration and data fusion platforms, integrated bio-search; Grid and clouds applications and platforms; APIs and Web Services, workflow management platforms; Semantic tools, biomedical ontologies; Semantic Web tools, Linked Open Data, SPARQL endpoints; Biological Wikis, social applications for life sciences; Tools for collaborative development of software, databases and documents; Mobile bioinformatics apps

Instructions for abstract submission:
Authors are invited to submit abstracts dealing with the topics of the workshop through EasyChair at the following address: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nettab2016 . The instructions for authors can be found at: http://www.igst.it/nettab/2016/submissions/instructions-for-authors/.

Works presented at the workshop will be invited to a Call for Papers in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal of International level, indexed by Pubmed and ISI.
