Welcome to CMLSA 2008 !
| CMLSA 2008 is held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2008) in Barcelona, Spain. |

Life Sciences applications typically involve large volumes of data of various kinds and a multiplicity of software tools for managing, analysing and interpreting them. There are many challenging problems in the processing of life sciences data that require effective support by novel theories, methods and technologies. Conceptual modelling is the key for developing high-performance information systems that put these theories, methods and technologies into practice. The fast growing interest in life sciences applications calls for special attention on resource integration and collaborative efforts in information systems development.
The primary objective of the workshop is to share research experiences in conceptual modelling for applications in life sciences and to identify new issues and directions for future research in relevant areas, including bioinformatics, health informatics, medical and veterinary informatics. The workshop invites authors to submit original papers exploring the usage of conceptual modelling ideas and techniques for developing and improving life sciences databases and information systems.
