Hello, Being a computational chemist by training, and having now moved from the field of molecular modelling to bioinformatics, I thought the following meeting that I'm organising might be of interest to the list since the themes are relevant to chemistry too, e.g. Java is redefining how many people think of software in terms of an object-oriented approach with libraries of reusable components, and distributed object technologies, such as CORBA, are providing new ways to access applications and data over networks and the WWW. Yours, Alan Robinson. ============================================================ Alan J. Robinson, D.Phil.

The meeting will include lectures, presentations, poster sessions and discussion groups on the rapidly expanding and developing fields of software components and distributed computing from both an academic and industrial perspective. Invited talks will cover the application of reusable components, software libraries, distributed object technology, data visualisation and the bioWidget Consortium. Poster stands, each with a dedicated networked computer, are available upon which delegates may showcase their work and projects. Participants are encouraged to submit a brief abstract for a poster relevant to the meeting themes. We hope to have a prize for the best poster presentation. Full details about the meeting may be accessed at - http://industry.ebi.ac.uk/~alan/Meeting/OiB.html The meeting is organised by the European Bioinformatics Institute in association with the bioWidget Consortium. The meeting will be held in the newly completed conference facilities at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in the grounds of Hinxton Hall, Cambridge, UK. The cost of registration for the meeting has been kept as low as possible with a nominal fee of 25 GBP. ----- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
