Dear Killer App Award submitter:

we received 65 submissions for the ISMB 2010 Killer App Award,  
including many excellent submissions. Unfortunately we could only  
select four finalists, and after a series of reviews by a panel of  
judges, we are sorry to tell you that your submission did not make it  
to the final round this year.

Our criteria were very demanding and multifaceted : a large number of  
submissions clearly addressed important questions, but currently  
lacked a sufficient level of ease-of-use to be immediately adopted by  
experimental biologists. In such cases, we hope that you will continue  
to develop your tool or service, and will submit an improved version  
for the Killer App award next year.

In any case, we would like to thank you for participating in this  
challenge - the strong response to the first Killer App submission was  
very encouraging.

We invite you to attend the Killer App Award session at ISMB on  
Tuesday, July 13: 11:45 a.m. - 12:40 p.m, in Room: 306 (TT34). Here,  
each of the four finalists will give a short 10 minute presentation on  
their work, and answer questions from the judges and the general  
audience. The final winner of the Kill App Award will be announced  
with the other awards at the ISMB closing ceremony. The four finalists  
will shortly be announced at http://www.iscb.org/cms_addon/conferences/ismb2010/technologytrack.php

Sincerely,
