From bioinformatics to clinical trials, drug discovery depends on optimizing vast amounts of information that often reside in disparate locations, places and formats. ‘Web services’ is gaining ground as an open standards solution to sharing information more easily and rapidly between systems, applications, users, and organizations.
Many have talked about the potential of webservices
infrastructure for distributed computing and exchange of
data amongst disparate systems but few have focused on how such
information ultimately is presented to the researcher at
his/her desktop and how scientists along the continuum will
interact with the infrastructure. This session will bring together experts and interested parties to explore how companies today are connecting all scientists to webservices, eliminating complex application integration, and increasing researcher discovery productivity at the point of the desktop.
