About every month or so, someone writes to me to ask what's up with Moby-2. Here's the update: We've finished our first pass at the specification and reference implementation of SADI - Semantic Automated Discovery and Integration. The manuscript describing the overall architecture will be presented at the IEEE Semantic Web Services meeting in Singapore in December, but the text of that paper is here: http://sadiframework.org/documentation/SADI_SWSIP09_personal.pdf The project website is: http://sadiframework.org and from there you can get to our first prototype client. Other clients are coming soon, including the SADI-Taverna plugin. The SADI equivalent to MoSeS is almost finished, and is available on CPAN - it does a pretty good job of auto-writing SADI services already, and it will get better soon! See the SADI homepage for the link. The meta-map of possible service connections is here: http://biordf.net/cardioSHARE/images/predicates.png You can already do some pretty cool SPARQL queries in our prototype interface! And finally, we are putting out a press release this week to announce that we have just received almost $1M in funding from CANARIE to deploy SADI services over Canadian (and international) bioinformatics resources, as well as provide training in semantic web and semantic web service provision. We wont be starting the training component until late next year, but if you are interested please follow our progress on the SADI homepage. That's all the news! Cheers!

The 2010 International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) (website: http://www.PromoteResearch.org) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA. ?BCBGC is an important event in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics and chemoinformatics and focuses on all areas related to the conference. ? The conference will be held at the same time and location where several other major international conferences will be taking place. The conference will be held as part of 2010 multi-conference (MULTICONF-10). MULTICONF-10 will be held during July 12-14, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The primary goal of MULTICONF is to promote research and developmental activities in computer science, information technology, control engineering, and related fields. Another goal is to promote the dissemination of research to a multidisciplinary audience and to facilitate communication among researchers, developers, practitioners in different fields. The following conferences are planned to be organized as part of MULTICONF-10. ? International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-10) ?International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-10) International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) International Conference on Computer Networks (CN-10) International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-10) International Conference on High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS-10) International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-10) International Conference on Image and Video Processing and Computer Vision (IVPCV-10) International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-10) International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-10) ? We invite draft paper submissions. Please see the website http://www.PromoteResearch.org for more details. ? Sincerely John Edward Publicity committee
