> Dear all:
>
> Life Science Grid Research Group has two scheduled sessions
> at OGF this week.  Both are in Discovery B on Thursday, Oct.
> 18.  The first is at 9AM the second at 11AM.
>
> Besides an open discussion and group business, we will have
> two presentations:
>
>
> You can find slides in the LSG-RG section of gridforum.org

>
> John Boyle of the Institute for Systems Biology will talk in
> the first session
>
>     Title: Requirements for a research enterprise for systems biology
>
>     Abstract: In systems biology, and many other areas of
> research, there is a need for the interoperability of tools
> and data sources which were not originally designed to be
> ntegrated. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of systems
> biology, and its association with high throughput
> experimental platforms, there is an additional need to
> continually integrate new technologies. This problem is
> confounded by the fact that as scientists work in isolated
> groups, integration is rarely a consideration when building
> the required software tools.   This talk will discuss a
> light-weight software architecture, based upon a common
> identity system and dynamically discovered interoperable
> services, used at the ISB through which scientists can both
> get access to and analyze the plethora of experimentally
> derived data. The shortcomings of this architecture will be
> discussed, as well as the need for the adoption of a new type
> of data infrastructure which is able to fulfill the
> requirements of the next generation of high throughput
> experiment technologies.

> Chris Oehmen of Washington State will talk in the second session
>
>    Title: High-throughput sequence analysis challenges: what
> the Grid can do for us
>
>    Abstract: Exponentially growing sequence data is driving a
> revolution in bioinformatics and biology in general but the
> demand for compute resources is quickly outpacing the
> capacity of conventional platforms.  Taking advantage of the
> unique capabilities of the grid means new algorithms and
> programming paradigms are needed. We present some challenges
> and a vision of high-performance bioinformatics using grid technology.
