With the success of the first C-SHALS Conference in 2008, the
International Society for Computational Biology is happy to present C-
SHALS 2009. This conference focuses on the continued evolution of
pharmaceutical applications using Semantic Technologies. We have
presentations and discussions of practical semantics-based approaches
to Drug R&D and Healthcare, organized along specific topics and
moderated to induce interactive discussions around key questions. This
conference is valuable to anyone wishing to understand which areas of
advanced in intelligent information technologies can have the greatest
impact in Pharmaceutical R&D and improved Healthcare.
The conference organizers are pleased to announce keynote presenters
