abstract: Drawing on the reputation and expertise of Bio-IT World and Cambridge Healthtech Institute, Bridging Pharma and IT is one of the most influential meetings in North America. It is the only meeting to feature case studies of IT/Science paired discussions that provide insights into cross-domain partnering with an organization's end users and IT. The 2008 agenda will focus on tactics and processes that organizations can effectively and efficiently use to minimize communication gaps between scientists, researchers, and information technology professionals in building solutions and capabilities, utilizing data models and their validation, and integrating drug targets and compounds. A number of joint presentations from pairs of end users and IT and informatics partners will provide indispensable guidance for surmounting challenges and delivering results. www.healthtech.com

abstract: The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers, and vendors working in all disciplines and in the industrial, governmental, military, and academic sectors.

abstract: HICSS-42 offers a unique, highly interactive and professionally challenging environment that attendees find "very helpful -- lots of different perspectives and ideas as a result of discussion." HICSS sessions are comprised primarily of refereed paper presentations; the conference does not host vendor presentations.

The conference operation is funded entirely by registration fees; therefore, HICSS is not able to subsidize registrations or offer reduced fees, nor partial registration. All participants and speakers (or their organizations) are expected to bear the cost of their expenses and registration.

abstract: Provenance, or meta-information about computations, computer systems, database queries, scientific workflows, and so on, is emerging as a central issue in a number of disciplines. The TaPP workshop continues an informal series of workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007–2008, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages. We hope both to attract serious cross-disciplinary, foundational, and highly speculative research and to facilitate needed interaction with the broader systems community and with industry.

abstract: For the past twenty-three years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2009 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by University of Hawaii at Manoa and Chaminade University of Honolulu.

abstract: The 17th Annual WritersUA Conference for Software User Assistance will be held in Seattle, Washington at the Westin Seattle, March 29-April 1, 2009. Our primary goal is to continue to provide an event with the most comprehensive and timely information specifically designed for user assistance professionals. Attendance has surpassed 8,000 people in the 16 years of the conference's existence!

Registration for the Conference opens November 1.

The conference web site will contain all of the details about the event including session descriptions, speakers, and agenda.

abstract: Join us in Berkeley, CA, March 30–31, 2009, for the First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism. HotPar '09 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. HotPar recognizes the broad impact of multicore computing and seeks relevant contributions from all fields, including application design, languages and compilers, systems, and architecture.

abstract: GROUP Conferences provide forums for researchers and practitioners who are interested in topics related to computer-based systems that have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, methodologies, and effects of these systems.

abstract: DCC is held at the Cliff Lodge convention center in the beautiful Snowbird / Alta Ski areas; located a short ride from the Salt Lake City International Airport. It is an international forum for current work on data compression and related applications. The conference addresses not only compression methods for specific types of data (text, images, video, audio, medical, scientific, space, graphics, web content, etc.), but also the use of techniques from information theory and data compression in networking, communications, and storage applications involving large data sets (including image and information mining, retrieval, archiving, backup, communications, and HCI). Both theoretical and experimental work are of interest.
