Interoperability and Federation Across Bioinformatic Platforms and Resources

As the wealth of data increases across the life sciences, so does the complexity for managing and analyzing those data. A new class of bioinformatic platforms are emerging that provide web-enabled user interfaces as well as application programming interfaces. This has enabled developers of these platforms to more easily share their computational resources and use those developed by others. The goal of this workshop is to share experience, ideas, technology, and best-practices on developing and using bioinformatic platforms that share data and computational services.
