Please distribute this announcement to all interested parties. ======================================================================== At its meeting last week, the Object Management Group issued a new Request for Information (RFI) in the life sciences research area. Authored by the Life Sciences Research (LSR) Domain Task Force (DTF), the new RFI is a general request. We want to know what to focus on next. The RFI can be found at http://doc.omg.org/lifesci/2001-04-15 RFI submissions are due by 20 August 2001. There's also an early consideration deadline of 18 June 2001. The primary reason for issuing a new RFI is to take advantage of the OMG's new Model Driven Architecture (MDA). By leveraging its modeling specifications, such as UML, the OMG has significantly broadened its architectural approach. New technology submissions will be required to have a middleware-independent model, with one or more corresponding models for specific middleware platforms such as CORBA, Enterprise Java Beans, XML, or SOAP. For more information about MDA see http://www.omg.org/mda. Two revised submission efforts (Gene Expression and Chemical Structures) are already using the MDA approach and will include XML-based solutions. The RFI also highlights the technology adoptions from LSR, * Biomolecular Sequence Analysis * Genomic Maps * Bibliographic Query Service * Macromolecular Structure and the RFPs underway * Chemical Structure Access & Representation * Gene Expression * Laboratory Equipment Control Interface Specification * Biomolecular Sequence Analysis Entities Please contact any of the LSR co-chairs if you have questions about the RFI or the LSR DTF. * David Benton (W_David_Benton@gsk.com) * Karl Konnerth (konnerth@incyte.com) * Scott Markel (smarkel@netgenics.com) You can also find out more about the LSR at http://www.omg.org/homepages/lsr/ Scott -- Scott Markel, Ph.D. NetGenics, Inc. smarkel@netgenics.com 4350 Executive Drive Tel: 858 455 5223 Suite 260 FAX: 858 455 1388 San Diego, CA 92121 From chemistry-request@server.ccl.net Sun May 6 11:48:44 2001 Received: from gpo.cam.msi-eu.com ([192.190.183.254]) by server.ccl.net (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id f46FmhI18087 for ; Sun, 6 May 2001 11:48:44 -0400 Received: from tree.msi-eu.com (dial130.cam.msi-eu.com [172.27.131.130]) by gpo.cam.msi-eu.com (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id QAA23972 for ; Sun, 6 May 2001 16:48:38 +0100 X-Authentication-Warning: gpo.cam.msi-eu.com: Host dial130.cam.msi-eu.com [172.27.131.130] claimed to be tree.msi-eu.com Message-Id: <4.3.1.2.20010506163549.00ac1e00@mailhost.cam.msi-eu.com> X-Sender: gerhard@mailhost.cam.msi-eu.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.1 Date: Sun, 06 May 2001 16:48:37 +0100 To: chemistry@ccl.net From: Gerhard Goldbeck-Wood Subject: Seminar series on phase equilibria and reaction simulations Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by server.ccl.net id f46FmiI18088 MSI is holding a scientific seminar series with the title 'Accelerating Chemical Process Design'.
