MIMBD '95
Second Meeting on the Interconnection of
Molecular Biology Databases
July 20-22, 1995
Cambridge, United Kingdom
The second Meeting on the Interconnection of Molecular Biology Databases
(MIMBD'95) will take place July 20-22, 1995, at Cambridge, UK, in
conjunction with (and right after) ISMB-95.
MIMBD'95 will bring together researchers, developers, and users to
explore new concepts, tools, and techniques for interconnecting
molecular biology databases and knowledge bases. The meeting will
provide a forum for the dissemination of research results as well as
contributions related to practical system design, implementation, and
evaluation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite submissions of abstracts reporting results on the following
(but not limited to) major topics of interest:
o Practical aspects of interconnecting heterogenous databases
o Federated and integrated molecular biology database systems
o Data exchange formats and tools
o Querying heterogenous databases
o Intelligent software agents for locating information in the biomatrix

databases and knowledge bases
o Schema integration
Participation in the meeting will be by invitation, based on abstracts
submitted by prospective participants. Abstracts should be 2-3 pages in
length and should describe research or development results, or present
novel approaches. We strongly encourage authors to explain the novelty
