Scope of the Workshop |
|
Information technology has been taking a great role with much importance
in this decade. This trend is increasingly accelerated by the advancement
of information technology. For further development and promotion of data-driven
science, enormous amount of data, which results from the accurate measurement
with highly sophisticated scientific devices, must be treated in a more
effective and efficient manner. At the same time, an epoch-making technology
and method for retrieving a data set of scientists' interest from multiple
databases must be distributed and then separately administrated on the
Internet. Essentially, dynamic aggregation of computational resources is
also required as a solution for scientists' computational demand. Moreover,
bio scientists who do not have detailed knowledge and experience on cutting-edge
information technology may require a web portal that can hide complexity,
that is hard-to-control information technology behind the scenes while
benefiting from such complex information technology. Today science and
information technology cannot be separately considered for further development
and advancement of both science and information technology. It is obvious
that tight collaboration between information technology and science is
essential in their interdisciplinary area.
In particular, bioscience is one of such scientific fields that require
information technological supports. Today, new protein structures and gene
information have been made clarified and stored in the databases, which
may hold clues to our inquiry into the essence of the biological life process
and contribute to future medical treatment. In addition, a variety of computer
simulations has been becoming possible in atomic, molecule, cell and organizational
level due to the recent advancement of IT. However, fundamental problems
which prevent scientists from performing efficient and effective analyses
have not been fully solved. For example, the data captured with scientific
devices is rarely shared because of the large scale data. Furthermore,
these biological information databases are distributed and separately managed,
which results in the situation that no one could draw a whole picture of
that. Moreover, the databases are diverse in everything from interface
provided to management methods, which causes that scientists have much
difficulty in retrieving data set of their interest.
This workshop features the state of the art researches and experiences
on grid technology for bio-informatics, bio-chemistry and bio-medical applications.
In particular, Grid, which is expected to be a promising information technology,
is focused in the workshop. The main purpose of the workshop is to contribute
the development and promotion of bioscience by discussing problems in applying
information technologies such as Grid to bioscience and finging solutions
for these problems.
