Revision as of 18:23, 22 November 2010
The 12th Annual Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) 2011 will be held immediately before the 19th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB 2011) at the Austria Center in Vienna, Austria. The dates of BOSC 2011 are July 15-16; the main ISMB Conference runs July 17-19,2 011. There will also be a Hackathon before BOSC (date and location TB).
BOSC 2010 was held in Boston, MA, from July 9-10. Selected, peer-reviewed papers from BOSC 2010 will published in BMC Bioinformatics.
The deadline for submitting abstracts is April 18, 2011.
Overview
The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is sponsored by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (O|B|F), a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source software development within the biological research community.
Many open source bioinformatics packages are widely used by the research community across many application areas and form a cornerstone in enabling research in the genomic and post-genomic era. Open source bioinformatics software has facilitated rapid innovation, dissemination, and wide adoption of new computational methods, reusable software components, and standards. One of the hallmarks of BOSC is the coming together of the open source developer community in one location to meet face-to-face. This creates synergy where participants can work together to create use cases, prototype working code, or run bootcamps for developers from other projects as short, informal, and hands-on tutorials in new software packages and emerging technologies. In short, BOSC is not just a conference for presentations of completed work, but is a dynamic meeting where collaborative work gets done and attendees can learn about new or on-going developments that they can directly apply to their own work.
