Shall we develop a Debian Med Tutorial? Fwd: [BC2-conference] Call for workshop and tutorial proposals open now.

[Steffen Möller <steffen_moeller@gmx.de>]

Hello,

much like many of you I just received this invitation to come up with a
tutorial and/or workshop for the Basel (Switzerland) conference. The
ISMB (next time in Prague (CZ) if I recall correctly) I expect to send
the same around any minute or I already missed it as they typically have
deadlines in December.

Question: Shall we? I am not so much after explaining how to prepare a
Debian package but we should demonstrate the amazing wealth of software
packages that are readily available to be installed and workflows that
can be addressed with them. A key message could be that the principles
explained in this tutorial one would be platform independent as
VirtualBox does a decent job and also ready for clouds with Amazon and
others. With respect to workflows I would then go and explain just any
that is also covered by the Common Workflow Language development.

Just ping me whoever is up for it. It is quite a bit of work and not so
very rewarding, scientifically. We shall expect to be offered to write a
book, which I would very much like to be something towards a
"bioinformatics recipies" book. This kind of avoids the term "workflow".

Best,

Steffen

Dear colleagues,

 

The [BC]2 Basel Computational Biology Conference 2017 will feature a
*one-day workshop / tutorial session on Tuesday, September 12, 2017* as
part of the official conference program.

 

The purpose of *workshops* is to provide participants with an informal
setting to discuss the cutting edge of a research field. A workshop
could e.g. provide an interesting perspective on technical issues,
exchange research ideas, and share practical experiences on some focused
or emerging topics in bioinformatics.

 

The purpose of the *tutorial* program is to provide participants with
lectures or practical training covering topics relevant to the
bioinformatics field. Tutorials should offer an opportunity to learn
about new areas of bioinformatics research, to get an introduction to
important established concepts, or to develop advanced technical skills.

 

This call is an invitation for scientists and professionals working in
the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology to submit
proposals for high-quality workshops and tutorials for the [BC]2
conference. For more information, please see:
