The
2010 International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice
(SETP-10) (website: http://www.PromoteResearch.org ) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA.  SETP is an important event in the areas of
Software development, maintenance, and other areas of software engineering and
related topics.
 
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

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
Communications and Networks (CCN-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) 
 
MULTICONF-10
will be held at Imperial Swan Hotel and Suites.  It is a full-service resort that puts you in the middle of the fun!
Located 1/2 block south of the famed International Drive, the hotel is just
minutes from great entertainment like Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal
Studios and Sea World Orlando. Guests can enjoy free scheduled transportation
to these theme parks, as well as spacious accommodations, outdoor pools and
on-site dining — all situated on 10 tropically landscaped acres. Here, guests
can experience a full-service resort with discount hotel pricing in Orlando.
 
 
We
invite draft paper submissions. Please see the website http://www.PromoteResearch.org  for more details.

** Call for Papers

Submissions are now invited Bio-Ontologies 2010: Semantic Applications
in Life Sciences, a SIG
at Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) 2010, July 9-13,
Boston, MA (http://www.iscb.org/ismb2010)


*** Key Dates

- Submissions Due: April 16th (Friday)
- Notifications: May 7th (Friday)
- Final Version Due: May 14th (Friday)
- Workshop: July 9th-10th (Friday and Saturday)


*** Introduction

Bio-Ontologies: Knowledge in Biology provides a forum for discussion of
the latest and most cutting-edge research in ontologies and more
generally the organisation, presentation and dissemination of knowledge
in biology. It has existed as a SIG at ISMB
(http://www.iscb.org/ismb2010) for 12 years now, making it one of the
longest running.

We are interested in approachs to organising, presenting and
disseminating  knowledge in life sciences.

We invite papers in traditional areas, such as the biological
applications of ontologies, newly developed Bio-Ontologies, and the use
of ontologies in data sharing standards.
In addition, We invite submissions on a wide range of topics including,
but not limited to:

- Semantic and/or Scientific Wikis.
- Collaborative Curation Platforms
- Collaborative Ontology Authoring and Peer-Review Mechanisms
- Automated ontology learning
- Mapping between ontologies
- Biological Applications of Ontologies
- "Flash updates" on Newly Developed or Existing Bio-Ontologies
- Use of Ontologies in Data Standards
- Semantic Web enabled applications (such as for enhanced publishing and
for capturing scientific discourse)
- Research in Ontology Languages and its Effect on Bio-Ontologies


*** Submissions

Submissions are now open and can be submitted through easychair
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bioontologies2010).


*** Instructions to Authors

We are inviting three types of submissions.

- Short papers, up to 4 pages.
- Poster abstracts, up to 1 page.
- Flash updates, up to 1 page

Following review, successful papers will be presented at the
Bio-Ontologies SIG. Poster abstracts will be provided poster space and
time will be allocated during the 2 days for at least one poster
session. Flash updates are for short talks (5 min) giving the salient
new developments on existing public ontologies (e.g. the Foundational
Model of Anatomy).
Posters authors can also indicate a desire to provide a flash update.

Unsuccessful papers will automatically be considered for poster
presentation; there is no need to submit both on the same topic.


** Programme

The SIG will run for two days this year. On each day, the morning
session will have an invited keynote and selected papers; while the
afternoon session will have a panel session and selected talks. One of
the talks session will have "flash updates" from groups developing
bio-ontologies as part of large international, collaborative consortia
and from selected poster presenters.

09:00-10:00 Keynote
10:00-12:00 Research Talks (with coffee break)
12:00-13:30 Lunch and Poster Session
13:30-16:00 Research Talks (with coffee break)
16:00-17:30 Panel Session
17:30-close and Poster Session

This year's keynote speakers will by Andrew Rzhetsky (July 10th) and Tim
Clark (July 9th)
