Objects in Bio- & Chem-Informatics 2002 (OiBC-2002)

“Best Practices & Lessons Learned” Washington, DC (USA)     November 18-19, 2002 Organized by the OMG Life Sciences Research Domain Task Force (LSR DTF) Meeting sponsored by the Object Management Group (OMG) and IONA Technologies. Following in the tradition of the successful 'Objects in Bioinformatics (OiB)' conferences held in Hinxton, UK in 1997 and '98 and in San Jose, California in 1999, and OiBC-2001 in Danvers, Massachusetts, Objects in Bio- & Chem-Informatics 2002 focuses on the role of object-oriented technology, reusable software components, design patterns, and distributed computing in life sciences research. The conference is aimed at those who are interested in, are developing, or have developed object-oriented software that will be of use to the biological and chemical research community in both academia and industry. The overall theme of the conference is sharing best practices for implementing object-based systems for life sciences research The conference will include lectures and poster sessions on the application of the rapidly expanding and developing fields of object-oriented software and distributed computing to bio- and chem-informatics from both academic and industrial perspectives. Demonstrations of interoperability in systems using components from two or more sources are particularly encouraged, either as posters or as platform talks. Immediately following OiBC-2002, at the Object Management Group Technical Committee Meeting (at the same location), the OMG Life Sciences Research (LSR) Domain Task Force will hold a technical meeting where efforts will continue in adoption of domain standards. OiBC participants are welcome to attend these (and other) meetings of the LSR. To learn more about the initiatives underway within OMG's LSR DTF, see lsr.omg.org.
