Research Topics for Submission

The program committee welcomes the submission of original manuscripts 
addressing the problem of Grid Systems for Life Sciences. Authors should 
report relevant experiences, present novel approaches to existing 
problems and describe and raise issues that must be overcome to 
facilitate Grid-based Life Science e-Research. Topics of interest 
include, but are not limited to:

     * Grid architectures for life sciences
     * Security of clinical and life science data sets
     * Usability of Grid based life science systems
     * Interoperability of Grid systems to support life science research
     * Grid based data access and integration of life science data sets
     * Applications and case studies on using the Grid in the
       life science domain
     * Computational workflows to support life science research processes
     * Development and usage of ontologies for the life sciences
     * Grid based drug discovery and pharmacogenomics
     * Grid based clinical trials and epidemiological studies
     * Semantic Grid approaches for the life sciences
     * High performance Grid architectures and systems for life sciences
