Welcome to CSHALS 2011
CSHALS is the premier annual event focused on the use of semantic technologies in the pharmaceutical industry, including hospitals/healthcare institutions and academic research labs.
Rather than a Semantic Web conference, CSHALS focuses on specific applications of semantic technologies. Attendees will gain a better understanding of where the field is headed and be prepared to advance with the field.
CSHALS is intended for anyone already participating in this groundbreaking field, and a pre-conference tutorial is offered to help interested researchers come up to speed on the practical approaches of applying intelligent information technologies in pharmaceutical R&D.
If this describes you, save the date now and follow the website for updates on CSHALS 2011.
Conference participants will take part in discussion sessions that explore answers to technology questions such as the following:
- Where are semantic applications having the biggest impact?
- What support exists for using semantics for automated reasoning and agent technologies?
- How well do semantic tools enable the visualization and utilization of information and knowledge?
- What are the measurable benefits of Semantic Web standards, such as RDF, OWL, and SPARQL?
Themes of past CSHALS conferences:
- Clinical Information Management
- Discovery Information Integration
- Integrated Healthcare and Semantics in Electronic Health Records
- Translational Medicine / Safety
- Search and Document Management/Business Intelligence/Text Mining
- Text Mining/ Information Extraction
CSHALS will be preceded by a half day Tutorial focused on the current Semantic Web standard RDF tools to show participants how this technology meets drug development needs.
