Systems that aggregate health and entertainment goals are proliferating, but little is known about the way to design and evaluate these systems and how to manage the different (if nor opposite) needs of these two main areas. This workshop will promote the discussion of issues surrounding these areas, enabling a better understanding of the how’s and why’s of designing systems for health and entertainment, as well as the identification of new avenues of research in the field.
Therefore we invite designers, researchers and practitioners to participate in an exciting full-day workshop where they are invited to share their personal views and research on the intersection of technology, health and entertainment.

The 6th International Symposium on Semantic Mining in Biomedicine (SMBM)
6th-7th October, 2014 will be held at the University of Aveiro, Portugal.
SMBM aims to bring together researchers from text and data mining in biomedicine, medical, bio- and chemoinformatics, and researchers from biomedical ontology design and engineering. SMBM 2014 is the follow-up event to SMBM 2012 (University of Zürich, Switzerland) SMBM 2010 (EBI, U.K.), SMBM 2008 (University of Turku, Finland), SMBM 2006 (University of Jena, Germany), and SMBM 2005 (EBI, U.K.).

A 6-hour iOS Development Seminar will be held by Rui Pedro Lopes, Professor at Polytechnic Institute of Brangança, on the 29th July 2013, at Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics (DETI), Aveiro.
This Seminar will cover the following main topics: Objective-C, Storyboards, Core Data, Master-Detail User Interface
Universidade de Aveiro, DETI, Room 102, 10h
Talk from Luís Paquete, Anf. IEETA
The multiobjective formulation of the pairwise sequence alignment problem is introduced, where a vector score function takes into account the substitution score and indels or gaps separately. Two solution methods are introduced: a multiobjective dynamic programming that extends classical algorithms for this problem and an epsilon-constraint algorithm that solves a series of constrained sequence alignment problems. A state pruning technique based on the concept of bound sets is also presented. Finally, its application to phylogenetic tree construction is
discussed.

Helena Deus, “Linked Data and Semantic Web Technologies for improving discovery in the Life Sciences”
We live in a world of data. This is also true for the Life Sciences, where the introduction of omics technologies such as genome sequencing has led to the industrialization of data production beyond a craft-based cottage industry and into a deluge of biological information. Nevertheless, the apparently simple task of collecting and keeping pace with the latest information about a gene of interest is still thwarted by the need for biological researchers to become experts at database-surfing and literature mining.
Linked Data is a set of principles devised for creating a Web of Data where a new generation of Web applications can discover and link relevant pieces of information based on its properties rather than its location in a database. Linked data is also at the root of a movement towards building a knowledge continuum in the Life Sciences and by doing so, has the potential to be a foundation for a platform that will support 21st century Biology.
In this talk, I will present some of the scenarios where Linked Data has been successfully applied in accelerating scientific discovery and translation of Life Sciences knowledge into Health Care and what challenges are still to be addressed.

Daniel Sobral, “Ensembl Regulation”
Ensembl is a world reference for vertebrate genome annotation, providing high quality annotation for more than 50 species. Particularly challenging is the annotation of non-coding functional regions of the genome. Ensembl Regulation aims at making Ensembl
a reference for the annotation of genomic features with a potential role in the transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Combining publicly available data from large projects like ENCODE and The Epigenomics Roadmap, we group overlapping areas of open chromatin and transcription factor binding to build a “best-guess” set of regulatory features, in a cell-aware manner. Finally, we also include histone-modification and polymerase data to generate cell-specific classifications for the regulatory regions. Taking advantage of the role of the EBI as part of the ENCODE data analysis group, we aim at bringing Ensembl to the forefront of the annotation of the regulatory genome.
