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.
